Another adorable Flamingo Rampant book. This one features mostly-rhyming poetry and brilliant illustrations of children with a wide range of gender identities and expressions. Beautiful.

This is a really fun, rhyming book featuring a whole bunch of kids talking about what their interests are, and debunking gender stereotypes about what toys and activities are for boys and girls. It also features a trans kid talking about public bathroom use, a super important topic!

Although this doesn't have a plot per se, I think kids might really connect with the rhyming and the diversity of activities and like portrayed--lots of kids would be able to say "I like that too!"

Also I really liked the illustrations, often full page spreads of kids doing fun things like climbing trees and looking at bugs and reading and snowboarding and driving tractors, and more! Nice clean lines and bright colours!
