She's My Dad! cover

An empowering picture book for 3 to 7year olds about transgender parents and family
diversity

'My Dad's name is Haley. She used to be a he but now she is a she! Last year she did this
thing called transition. She grew her hair long, painted her nails in bright colours and
started wearing different clothes.'

When Mini's cousin accidentally misgenders her dad Haley, Mini explains why
misgendering is hurtful and why we need to treat trans people with respect. Mini speaks
with confidence about transitioning and gender identity, and helps to educate and
empower others with trans relatives or friends.

This brightly illustrated book for children aged 3 - 7 will aid discussion with children about
a loved one transitioning or about trans people in general. Featuring a child with a dad
who has transitioned, this book passes on an important message about acceptance and
respect, and covers pronouns, dysphoria, family diversity and misgendering.

A simple story that speaks volumes about the kindness and joy in acceptance. An
incredibly useful book for an early years setting.'

A sweet, gentle book that doesn't make being transgender a big deal at all. It's
presented as a part of every day life and will allow kids to connect to the characters
and at the same time learn about different types of families. An wonderful book for
people's home collection, schools and libraries.

Sarah's book gives our young people, teachers and families much needed vocabulary and knowledge to have open and safe conversations about gender identity in 2020 - the perfect resource for schools and libraries! -- Dr Elly Barnes MBE * CEO & Founder Educate & C elebrate *

When I transitioned a decade ago, there was nothing like this for our children. "She's my Dad," provides children with a gentle story to assuage their worries about what it means when a parent transitions while emphasizing their parents unconditional love through it all. I wish something like this had been available for our children in 2011
when we told them I was transitioning.
