Daryl is so affectionate. Alex is gentle with the family cat. Sage and Kaylin are super strong. And Ira yearns to do ballet like their older brother. Demystify gender stereotypes while learning your ABCs in this bright, celebratory debut picture book by stationery company Ash + Chess.
The authors bring not only their quirky artistic flavour but also their personal perspectives as a queer couple to this empowering book for younger kids.
This hardcover picture book is rendered in bright, bold colours and patterns and uses neon pink hues throughout.
As a bonus, remove the book's jacket to reveal a cool ABC poster on the opposite side that can be displayed at home, in schools, at libraries, or anywhere!
