But on the day of the neighborhood's big summer bash, Ari doesn't know what words to use. On the way to the party, Ari and Lior meet lots of neighbors and learn the words each of them use to describe themselves, including pronouns like she/her, he/him, they/them, ey/em, and ze/zir. As Ari tries on different pronouns, they discover that it's okay to not know your words right away--sometimes you have to wait for your words to find you.
Filled with bright, graphic illustrations, this simple and poignant story about finding yourself is the perfect introduction to gender-inclusive pronouns for readers of all ages.
Review: I thought this was an adorable little book! I loved that the book focused on pronouns and who they can change daily. The book also focused on how pronoun use is respectful and a key part of fully loving someone. The book did so good so show many different pronouns and people using them.
Verdict: I loved it so much! Highly recommend!
