My Maddy

Recommended Ages: 5-9

Written by Gayle Pitman. Illustrated by Violet Tobacco.

My Maddy has hazel eyes that blend brown and green, and they love sporks because they are a unique mix of spoon and fork. While most mommies are girls and most daddies are boys, many parents don’t fit neatly into those categories. My Maddy beautifully illustrates how some of the most wonderful things in life exist in the space between and celebrate individuality. Written by Randall Ehrbar, PsyD, the book includes an insightful note that provides additional information about parents from gender minority communities, including transgender, gender nonbinary, and other gender-diverse identities.
