Some people are boys. Some people are girls. Some people are both, neither, or somewhere in between. This sweet, straightforward exploration of gender identity will give children a fuller understanding of themselves and others. With child-friendly language and vibrant art, It Feels Good to Be Yourself provides young readers and parents alike with the vocabulary to discuss this important topic with sensitivity.

This is such a great picture book about gender! Four kids, one trans, one cis, and two nonbinary, are introduced as a way to explain different gender identities. I love the bright and detailed illustrations with lots of fun kid life details. Not too pedantic, but also introduces new concepts. One page is a bit repetitive, but that's my only complaint.

4 ⭐ This book sets out to make a simple and easy to understand lesson on gender identity. It works and works well. The illustrations are lively and colorful, they make perfect sense with the information being given. This makes this a perfect book for those kids and adults who aren‘t quite getting the idea of gender inclusivity.

Kid's reads January 2022 - I only managed to complete 2 for me but... I read all of these to them soooooo I guess that's not terrible. ?

Our gender fluid identifying child is getting ready to start a "proud to be myself" book club and the first read will be "It feels good to be yourself". Excited to hear the kid's discussions afterwards. ❤️

Cinfhen I started with God‘s on audio but I feel like I need to read the book or at least start with the book because I was having difficulty trying to keep characters straight. How are u finding it??? Are u reading or listening??? 5y
Bookzombie @Cinfhen I‘m listening to Gods too. I find I do have to focus on it more than some audios. I think it might be the words being used for the time period, like “kinchen” over child. It also took me a minute to get the characters straight, but it seems okay now. I‘m only about 28% in though. Audio time had been limited. 5y

This is the best book I‘ve seen for kids (and grown ups) on gender identity. It‘s a simple explanation and the story even concedes in a refrain, “There are so many different ways to be... too many to fit in a book!”

“No matter what your gender Identity is, you are okay exactly the way you are. And you are loved”
