BOOK REVIEW

Learn how we calculate the overall awesomeness score of books.

About the reviewer:

My name is Isabela. I’m 7 years old.

My favorite sport is soccer and my favorite colors are purple and orange (right now – they change a lot). I am a transgender girl.

What's this book about?

There are more pronouns than just she and he. The moral is that there are still she and he, but there are a lot more pronouns like they and ze and hir and fae and per.

My thoughts:

When someone uses my right pronouns, it feels like a warm hug from my favorite person, which is one example in the book.

A lot of pronouns don’t get mentioned in other books, which isn’t really fair. 

Who is this book for?

I think people who like science should read this book.

This book is written for kids and grownups. If I was reading this, I would be convinced.

Who is missing from this story?

People who use wheelchairs and old people.

Is this book #OwnVoices*?

The author does have experience with having a pronoun that’s not just she or he. The author and the illustrator are both very good at their talent.

*Learn more about #OwnVoices, coined by autistic author Corinne Duyvis.
