Summary
Un valiente álbum ilustrado en el que la internacional Elise Gravel plantea preguntas acerca de la identidad de género adaptadas a los más pequeños. ¿No sería fantástico que todos pudiéramos ser quienes somos sin que se tenga en cuenta nuestro género?
¿Los monopatines son solo para chicos? ¿Y los dinosaurios también? ¿Solo las chicas pueden cuidar bebés? ¿Las mujeres solo se pueden casar con hombres?
Hay muchas cuestiones sobre la identidad de género que, a menudo, damos por hecho. Pero ¿quién hizo estas normas? ¿De verdad es necesario seguirlas? Este álbum ilustrado trata de enseñar a los más pequeños que otro mundo es posible: uno en el que todos estemos en igualdad de condiciones y seamos amados y respetados, sin importar quiénes seamos, cómo seamos o cómo nos sintamos.
--------------
Simple, accessible, and direct, this picture book is perfect for kids and parents or teachers to read together, opening the door to conversations about gender stereotypes and everyone’s right to be their true selves.
Is it okay for boys to cry? Can girls be strong? Should girls and boys be given different toys to play with and different clothes to wear? Should we all feel free to love whoever we choose to love? In this incredibly kid-friendly and easy-to-grasp picture book, author-illustrator Elise Gravel raises these questions and others relating to gender roles, acceptance, and stereotyping.
