About the Book:<\/h1>\n

The Gender & Infinity Book for Kids<\/em> is not your average book about gender!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It’s a kid’s guide to embodiment of your fullest self using the stunning and infinite reflection of nature.<\/h3>\n

The journey begins with a group of kids reveling in the wonder and awe of nature\u2019s infinity seen in plants, animals, sea creatures, the night sky….<\/h3>\n

….only to be confronted by the two very small gender boxes that all of nature must squeeze into.<\/h3>\n

Watch as two of the kids remember the pressure to conform to gender stereotypes before finding their own comfort and reflection in nature\u2019s necessary and awesome diversity.<\/h3>\n

Award-winning illustrator and author, Maya Gonzalez brings their artistic touch to the lush, outdoor environments of fantastic flowers, deep waters, expansive night skies, as well as a menagerie of animals, fish and bugs for 11 of the Pronoun Kids to frolic through.<\/h3>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The kids from our Playing with Pronouns Card Deck and other Gender Wheel books help us explore infinity!
\n(can you see the secret message)<\/div>\n

Familiar characters (from our other books) explore the very real pressure kids experience to comply to gender roles and how it can impact how they see the world and themselves.<\/h3>\n

\"Why<\/p>\n

What makes this book different?<\/h1>\n

Children’s books about gender tend to focus on definitions and understandings of self in relation to whether one matches (or doesn’t) the label assigned to them at birth.<\/h3>\n

The Gender & Infinity Book for Kids<\/em> reorients and changes the gender conversation at the root.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Instead of defining in relation to assignments at birth, it provides kids with an understanding of self in relation to the infinite flow of nature. When we have a felt sense of our inherent belonging to a greater story of diversity, we are better equipped to understand and see through the “the boxes” that limit all of us from being our true selves.<\/h3>\n

\"What<\/p>\n

The Gender & Infinity Book for Kids<\/em> is a remedy-based framework. It roots resilience deep in the power of nature, and helps heal the impact of gender pressure and preempt its internalization.<\/h3>\n

\"Samples<\/p>\n

The illustrated story<\/strong> reminds young kids that they are a part of the infinite diversity of all of nature more than they are a definition or a label.<\/h3>\n

A discussion guide in the back<\/strong> provides facts about body and gender diversity in nature and a holistic approach to gender that deepens the story and experience with each reading.<\/h3>\n

This shift in focus toward nature first literally provides the largest foundation of support possible. Something profoundly needed through these times of focused, organized and aggressive attacks against our trans, nonbinary and intersex kids.<\/strong><\/h3>\n
