PRESS FOR NOT HE OR SHE, I'M ME

STONEWALL BOOK AWARD HONOR BOOK

Not He or She, I'm Me is A.M. Wild's acclaimed, debut picture book published by Henry Holt Books for Young Readers. This joyful read-aloud for 3-6 year olds follows a child getting ready for a wonderful day. They gleefully get dressed, hug their parents, go to school, and play with friends. All the while, unapologetically reminding themselves that they are and can only be themselves. The non-binary experience is brightly illustrated as we follow our main character through their typical day. The story's bouncy and fun refrain reminds all readers of gender neutral pronouns and affirms the identities of non-binary children—encouraging readers to practice empathy for themselves and others.  ISBN 9781250818607
