Summary: A wordless picture book: Beyond he or she. Something is taken from you when a pronoun defines who you are and you do not fit one of the two genders. We are labeled one or the other, either/or, and the possibilities are diminished. This storybook [literally] illustrates a continuum of gender possibility. After reading the pictures my 4-year-old grandchild said it well: “You can be all kinds of ways!”

Summary: "A Different Dolphin" is a rhyming tale that showcases the sweetest and kindest mammal in all the seas. A finned friend with a kind heart, this dolphin is an individual who yearns for acceptance. However, because of his differences, because of who he is deep down inside, his community rejects him and casts him into loneliness and isolation. Stranded and in a state of despair, he even begins to question the value of his life. In his darkest hour and when all hope seems lost, loving ethereal sea creatures rise from the deep abyss and save him with their words of encouragement. With such genuine kindness expressed from these peculiar yet graceful monsters of the deep, our friendly dolphin soars with a newly discovered ray of inner strength and fortitude, and he bathes in a new light of self-compassion, acceptance, and appreciation….and it’s just in the nick of time.
