What’s the difference between sex and gender? What does it mean to be defined by your gender? Are there only two genders? This informative book helps kids to explore these questions and many more. It explains how your gender can have an impact on your life, what it means to choose your own gender identity and the importance of gender equality. Topics covered include gender stereotypes, why there are different toys for boys and girls, being intersex and transgender, cross-dressing and gender around the world.

Poet Anthony Anaxagorou discusses his masculinity, author Holly Bourne writes about the importance of feminism, Krishna Istha explains what it means to be genderqueer and Juno shares her experiences of being transgender. Other contributors and celebrities featured include Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, John Legend, Jack Monroe, Caitlyn Jenner, RuPaul, Laura Dockrill, Conchita Wurst, Andrew McMillan and Emma Watson.

Aimed at young people aged 10 and upwards.

Our first visit in Norwich today was to @Bookbugsdragon1; it is my son’s favourite shop & a big reason why he adores books. Today I treated him to a pop-up book about the Earth. He also had a £5 voucher from his loyalty card. Nothing beats a real bookshop where you can browse.

Oh @dojo_tech_ what a let down. Imagine receiving an email today saying they are freezing account immediately because we're not Ltd... providing screenshot of company house saying we absolutely are. Cancelled. At least one owner doesn't advise other retail on systems... oops!😡

Such a lovely evening celebrating our 3rd birthday with a 12 strong bookclub field trip to @CinemaCityNrw to see a club favourite "Where the Crawdads Sing" which I have to say was excellent! Preceded by delicious pizza from neighbours @donnellis_p . Perfect night.

When people dismiss picturebooks they miss the point.

They are less about reading and much more about helping children explore and understand the world, stories, people, relationships.

They develop language and talk.

The best picturebooks open eyes and inspire thinking.
