Brilliant! ABC of Gender Identity is a book that will open minds for children and adults alike. Devika Dalal defines a rich array of terms from cisgender to venngender, with a diverse crew of characters perched upon the letters to keep kids company along the way. The alphabet is not long enough to include all the ways kids might describe themselves, but the guide at the end is sure to help any adult begin a lifelong conversation with their little one. -- Brook Pessin-Whedbee, author of Who Are You?:The Kid's Guide to Gender Identity
