It Feels Good To Be Yourself: book review

‘It Feels Good To Be Yourself: A Book About Gender Identity’ with words by Theresa Thorn, and illustrations by Noah Grigni is a beautiful picture book with the message

No matter what your gender identity is, you are okay exactly the way you are.

And you are loved.

This adorable exploration of gender expression has straightforward child-friendly language and charming, vibrant illustrations. Characters include Ruthie, a transgender girl, her cisgender brother Xavier, non-binary friends Alex and JJ. The book covers coming out, and figuring out gender identity, in a simple loving way.

Highly recommend getting this book for any kiddo to help them gain understanding of the world around them and encourage inclusive language and behaviour.
