Description

"A delightful illustrated story and rhyme about the importance of identity and the full spectrum of possibilities in love and life. A persuasive demonstration that you don't have to be 'he' or 'she' to be you."

Drew is born filled with awe and love, excited for a life of discovery. But all anybody wants to talk about is gender.

"For sure you are a ball of joy.
But are you girl or are you boy?
Which one are you? Him or her?
Will we call you Miss or Sir?"

But Drew doesn't want to be constrained by a pronoun or any other label. Drew only wants to be Drew. To be free to explore. Wear pink or blue or both. Play with GI Joes and Barbie dolls together. To be unique. Is that too much to ask?

Can Drew's family accept Drew as Drew, with all that makes Drew unique, and let go of the labels? Or will they hold on to their old fashioned beliefs?

This is a book about appreciating, respecting and affirming an individual without categorising them first. It's about taking time to discover what makes people unique and respecting differences that are more nuanced than a label can describe.

Complimenting the rhyming story, are vibrant illustrations tracing Drew's journey from hospital to home on Drew's first day in the world. Come along and enjoy it through Drew's eyes and insightful mind.
