Description: "My Dad has a shadow that's blue as a berry, and my Mum's is as pink as a blossoming cherry. There's only those choices, a 2 or a 1. But mine is quite different, it's both and it's none. A heartwarming and inspiring book about being true to yourself, by best-selling children's book creator Scott Stuart. This story considers gender beyond binary in a vibrant spectrum of colour"--Provided by publisher.

Review Quotes: "I'm always on the lookout for kids books that challenge gender stereotypes and empower kids to embrace their true selves, and this book does so beautifully. . . . Through playful rhyming text the author shines a light on diversity, being true to yourself, respecting others, and understanding that there are many experiences across the gender spectrum. . . .The illustrations in this book burst with joyful colour, radiantly showing young readers the many ways in which we can be our true selves. This heartwarming follow-up to the hugely popular My Shadow is Pink is sure to win hearts everywhere." --Aussie Kids Books

"Best-selling children's book creator, Scott Stuart, follows his internationally acclaimed title, My Shadow is Pink, with another heart-warming story about being true to yourself, just as you are. . . . With plenty of opportunities for conversation starters, the theme of gender as non-binary has been artfully distilled into an accessible read for young children and families." --Australian Arts Review

"Scott Stuart's beautiful book is warm, considered, honest and reflective." --Bookwagon

"Affirming." --Foreword Reviews, starred review of My Shadow Is Pink

"Stuart isn't just making up stories here--he's living the support he writes about. [His] take on the theme stands out for its focus on the relationship between the child and his dad and on societal ideas about masculinity." --Mombian, an LGBTQ parenting blog on My Shadow Is Pink
