It really shows the true colors of the people banning this book that they find a child's strong internal sense of themselves threatening rather than beautiful.
The art is lovely, the rhymes are charming, and the delicate negotiation of our main character's internal sense of themselves and external pressures is something all kids can relate to, even if they don't have the specific gender dynamics at play.
