Me and My Dysphoria Monster: An Empowering Story to Help Children Cope with Gender Dysphoria by Laura Kate Dale
5.0
The book that needs to be in schools GLOBALLY.
I enjoy that this book explains Gender Dysphoria - and Gender Euphoria (Affirmation/ acceptance by others) in a clear and optimistic way.
In few words, making it simpler for young people to follow along and without putting too fine a point on any area, this book clearly demonstrates the feelings and experiences of Trans people, specifically Trans Youth and how actions of those surrounding them can have a lasting impact on their lives.
I especially enjoyed the art style by Hui Qing Ang, the softness of more circular shapes and vibrant colours is appealing and I appreciate how the monster becomes smaller and changes colour in the end, I feel this helped to personify how feelings change.
The adults guide at the end is extremely beneficial for everyone, especially those not as in tune with the correct and appropriate language that is used surrounding transgender and gender non conforming people.
I believe this book would help every child, not just trans youth. And also, it’ll help every adult too.
I eagerly await this books release and intend to buy a physical copy for any future children in my life.
**I received an advanced copy of this book from the Publisher via NetGalley**
