Boys, Girls, and Everyone In-between

Boys, Girls, and Everyone In-between 
written and illus. by Caleb Blackwell 
Language: English 
Lulu, 2012. 
19 p. : col. ill. ; cm. 
ISBN: 
Summary: This children's book is a simple, easy to understand guide to gender variance. The drawings are simplistic, and easy to recognize so that children of any age can learn the importance of living life with gender variance in mind. Perfect for any age group (even adults!), this book gives a very basic glimpse into understanding key concepts regarding gender. I was very careful not to use any actual identifiers (ie transgender or transsexual) because people are SO much more than the words we put on them. Thank you for taking the time to include books like this in your child's upbringing.
