Summary: Dr. Elijah Nicholas has created an LGBTQI-friendly children's book featuring Madoodle (aka Madison), a ten-year-old girl whose Uncle Pete was once her Auntie Mary. Based on Dr. Elijah's observations as he navigated his gender transition from female to male, Dr. Elijah has brilliantly created a story of love, family, compassion, and authentic gender expression acceptance. Through the eyes of Madison and her friends, with appearances by parents, teachers, and other bright and inquisitive children, Dr. Elijah entertains, educates, enlightens, and most of all contributes to the discussion of unconditional love and gender expression. "Madoodle" is a great family discussion tool for navigating gender identity and family dynamics. It is also an excellent resource for classroom teachers when introducing gender, gender expression, navigating transgender students, and proper pronoun usage in the student setting.
