Gender identity and expression exploration

At the snack table today, friends asked to read books from our morning table selection. We read Neither, by Airlie Anderson and They She He Me: Free to Be! by Maya and Matthew Gonzalez. Both books speak to and celebrate non-binary gender identity and expression. We talked about who gets to decide how you feel inside and who gets to decide how you express yourself? Finley aptly explained exclaiming, “Be who you are!” Finley also decided she prefers she and her pronouns. We’ll continue to explore gender identity and expression over the next few weeks.
