There’s been a lot of discussion in the media, online and, well, everywhere of late about gender, specifically gender identity.<\/p>\n

As with most discussions about most subjects, I’m a big believer that understanding is the key and that books can go a long way to fostering that understanding.<\/p>\n

Books can say so much.<\/p>\n

The list below was created by Nevo Zisin<\/a>, author of Finding Nevo<\/a> and The Pronoun Lowdown<\/a>, and features books about gender identity for kids of all ages.<\/p>\n

Nevo and I met at Brisbane Writers’ Festival a few years ago, not long after Finding Nevo<\/em>, their memoir on gender transition, had been published.<\/p>\n

We sat beside each other at a signing and the thing that resonated with me the most was the long queue of teen readers who just wanted to meet Nevo and say thank you.<\/p>\n

Thank you for writing a book that held a mirror up to their experiences, gave a voice to what they were feeling, and allowed them to see what might be.<\/p>\n

Thank you for writing a book that took them inside what other people they knew were experiencing.<\/p>\n

\"the<\/a>And it’s now my turn to say thank you to Nevo.<\/p>\n

When I reached out to ask for a list of children’s and YA books about gender identity, they were quick to share this list, which originally appeared in The Pronoun Lowdown, a guidebook to all things pronoun.<\/p>\n

As the blurb says: “Everyone deserves to have their identity affirmed by their friends, families, and the world through which they move. The Pronoun Lowdown celebrates trans and gender diverse identities, in all their fluid and imperfect perfection!”<\/p>\n

The same could be said of this book list.<\/p>\n
