Every Body is a Rainbow
A nonfiction picture book that celebrates the diversity of bodies, gender identities, and gender expressions, Every Body is a Rainbow offers a positive, inclusive, and factual approach for ALL families.
Every child has an amazing body that is all their own! Each one is a unique shape, size, and color and has a unique mix of parts, identities, and expressions. Every Body is a Rainbow: A Kid's Guide to Bodies Across the Gender Spectrum celebrates the vast rainbow of bodies and identities-from nonbinary, to intersex, to multiple genders and expressions-and shows readers that every body is beautifully diverse and has value. This book is for kids and families of ALL genders, abilities, and expressions who want to understand themselves and learn more about the amazing bodies across the gender spectrum! Transgender children, or families with a transgender child will find this book especially affirming!
EVERY BODY IS A RAINBOW details in clear, direct and engaging language and bright, detailed illustrations how genders and bodies-including their private parts-can be wonderfully diverse. Young readers also learn the importance of caring for their own bodies and how to respect the gender identities of others!
I strongly feel that this book will save lives and recommend it to anyone looking for a book to discuss the diversity of bodies, gender identities, and gender expressions.- @Lgbtqkidlit
