Praise for True You: "Agna and Rotner's text, presented against brightly colored backgrounds, encourages--"People might think your body is a clue to who you are. It is what you think that matters!"--while Rotner's photographs capture exuberant self-expression, creating a crucial window and mirror for gender-expansive kids and their loved ones." -- Publishers Weekly True You: A Gender Journey joyfully celebrates children and the freedom to be yourself. Told through the voices and experiences of real people, this book offers a lively introduction to gender diversity from credible experts on the topic. -- Donalyn Miller, Teacher and Author, The Book Whisperer True You: A Gender Journey cheerfully and concisely makes accessible the complexities of gender identity and expression to a younger audience. It provides the absolutely needed service of allowing young people to recognize gender diversity both in themselves and in their peers, presenting many possibilities of both exploration tactics and ways of being. I truly believe this book will allow gender diverse youth to recognize themselves and know that they are not alone, and allow cisgender youth to approach gender diversity from a lens of kindness and potential rather than unfamiliarity and ostracization. -- Alexander Petrovnia, founder of the Trans Formations Project True You is a must-read celebration of gender.

This picture book spotlights a joyful spectrum of identities through the smiles and no-nonsense words of actual children. It also provides extensive resources to affirm and support transgender, nonbinary, cisgender, and questioning youth. This is the book you're searching for to help older Americans transition from an inflexible sex-based misunderstanding of gender to a future filled with identity freedom for all. -- Cory McCarthy, author of Ace Takes Flight Every page warms my heart. I love the beautiful photos and I appreciate the diversity represented. I hope this book finds its way to kids everywhere. True You is a great learning tool to help make the world a kinder place. -- Kai Shappley, trans activist, actress, and author of the forthcoming middle grade novel, Joy, to the World True You is a beautiful tribute to the wonder and diversity of kids, AND the importance of letting kids explore and have agency for themselves.

A book like this would likely have drastically improved my life if I'd had it as a kid. A necessary addition to every school library! -- Schuyler Bailar, Author of Obie Is Man Enough and creator of the LaneChanger.com Gender Literacy Learning Series.
