III. Bilingual children's book on gender identity
Written by Ellie Klipp,
I Don't Have to Choose is a gender-affirming children's book that supports kids in being comfortable in the bodies they were born in.
|
|
ACPeds Board Member, Executive Director and Past President, Dr. Michelle Cretella: "
I Don't Have to Choose
is outstanding. It is available in English, Spanish (Mexican dialect) and French Canadian dialect."
ACPed Board Member Dr. Jane Anderson
: "It is beautifully written and illustrated."
According to the author, "It used to be simple to say who was a boy or who was a girl. But nowadays the social climate has changed...but [with] engaging illustrations [to] help children understand their identity, kids can relax. This is one choice they don't have to make!"
