Whoever You Are

“A charmingly delightful and very special pick for family, daycare center, preschool, and community library Board Book collections for very young children ages 1-4.” * Midwest Book Review *“With effusively inclusive rhyming language, Wai Lin crafts a promise of unconditional love from guardian to child…this affectionate volume imbues a classic be yourself narrative with gender-expansive affirmations, positioning guardians as partners in their children’s journey to find what’s authentic & true.” * Publishers Weekly *“Bright colors and minimalist illustrations make this inclusive, rhyming book engaging and easy to follow as it assures children in no uncertain terms that they are worthy of and will be provided love, no matter who orwhat they become.” * Foreword Reviews *“Don’t let the simplicity of this book fool you – If every parent read their child books like these early on, raising inclusive, loving kids would be as easy as teaching them to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you.’” – Sarah Lacy, Founder and CEO at Chairman Me
