A wordless picture book: Beyond he or she

I wanted to present the truth about gender.

So I created a wordless picture book in order to avoid gender-specific pronouns.

Why? Because pronouns  shape and limit our beliefs and biases around gender identity,

While many of us can check the  ‘female’ or  ‘male’ box when filling out a form—without hesitation or concern---the truth is that gender, both physically and psychologically, is full of possibilities.
