Recommended Ages: 4-8

Written by Jo Hirst. Illustrated by Naomi Bardoff.

At lunchtime, Tom and his friends come together at school to build their dream house, each contributing in their unique way. Jackson, a boy who loves wearing dresses, Ivy, a girl with a short haircut, and Alex, who doesn’t identify strictly as a boy or a girl, all bring their individuality to the project. This heartwarming story celebrates both their similarities and differences, demonstrating that it’s perfectly okay to be yourself. Aimed at children aged 4 to 8, this engaging narrative challenges gender stereotypes and provides parents and teachers with a valuable resource for discussing gender diversity. It encourages kids to explore and express their identities in a positive and affirming way.
