"What do you like? How do you feel? Who are you? This brightly illustrated children's book provides a straightforward introduction to gender for anyone aged 5+. It presents clear and direct language for understanding and talking about how we experience gender: our bodies, our expression and our identity. An interactive three-layered wheel included in the book is a simple, yet powerful, tool to clearly demonstrate the difference between our body, how we express ourselves through our clothes and hobbies, and our gender identity. Ideal for use in the classroom or at home, a short page-by-page guide for adults at the back of the book further explains the key concepts and identifies useful discussion points. This is a one-of-a-kind resource for understanding and celebrating the gender diversity that surrounds us"--Publisher.… (more)

A good starting point for teaching children about gender, but there is very little text for the children - most of it is for the adults (who probably already know it if they're buying this book). I do think it's a little odd that it seems to explain gender as something you choose from day-to-day. The wheel is nice for small people, and nearly every child can find themselves represented in the illustrations. ( )

A gentle, well-illustrated book that introduces the concept of gender identity for young children. There is an essay for adults to orient them to today's broadened thinking.
