Homebody - Discovering What It Means To Be Me

An unmissable graphic memoir perfect for fans of the global hit Heartstopper and Juno Dawson''s What''s the T? Hello! I''m Theo. I like cats, Dungeons & Dragons . . . and I''m trans and non-binary. Theo grew up in a household with a loving family and relaxed gender roles, but the pressures of the outside world to fit into society''s expectations can make life feel, well . . . confusing! Theo knows that there is no one way to be, but inspired by superheroes, role playing games and comic con, they find confidence to rebuild their image in a way that feels truly themselves. In their debut graphic novel Homebody , author-illustrator Theo Parish takes readers through a beautifully heart lifting story of discovering what it means to live life on your own terms and what it means to feel at home in the world. ''The most radical act of self love is living authentically in a world that takes every opportunity to squeeze you into a box of someone else''s design.''
