IN THE WORLD tells the story of B, who “wasn’t really sure why one day
he felt like wearing overalls and a flannel shirt, and the next day woke
up wishing he could dress like his sister Patti-Anne.” The book is
intended for both children and families who may have personal
experience with gender non-conforming children but is also appropriate
for all families interested in teaching tolerance and broadening their
understanding of gender diversity. Kids are welcome! There will be dress-up activities and cupcakes! More information is available at the book’s website:http:www.bintheworld.com
