Thank Netgalley for the ARC

I am so, so happy books like this exist now. It's amazing that the mess that is gender is being introduced to children, possibly helping them in their own journeys and identities. The book itself is very attractive with bright colours and appealing illustrations, and the people depicted are all diverse not just in gender but in other aspects  like race and ability as well. The text is relatively complex though, making this book persumably more suitable for older children. That is probably to be expected, because of the ballance the book has to make between simplification and inclusivity of all possibilities...I think the author done so commendably!
