world in this gorgeously illustrated nonfiction book for young

(the first trans politician in Japan), this book will open up
dialogue and help educate young adults on the history, legacy, and
future of trans, gender expansive, and nonbinary people and their
rights at a time when protecting those rights is needed more than
ever. The book is complete with sidebars about trans topics, a
reference guide, and a glossary of terminology.

Meanwhile, new gods threaten to disrupt the status quo, throwing
everything out of balance. Loki must act as a responsible
ambassador, but will the nine worlds end in Surtur's fire? In this

forget how. They can yell, stomp their feet, shoot flames out of
their mouths, and not be a very good listener. It can be hard to be
friends with a dragon, but with some deep breaths and calming
words, you and your dragon can learn how to be best friends
forever.

words in this sweet, accessible introduction to gender-inclusive
pronouns that is perfect for readers of all ages. Whenever Ari's
Uncle Lior comes to visit, they ask Ari one question: "What are
your words?" Some days Ari uses she/her. Other days Ari uses
he/him. But on the day of the neighborhood's big summer bash, Ari
doesn't know what words to use. On the way to the party, Ari and
Lior meet lots of neighbors and learn the words each of them use to
describe themselves, including pronouns like she/her, he/him,
they/them, ey/em, and ze/zir. As Ari tries on different pronouns,

about finding yourself is the perfect introduction to
gender-inclusive pronouns for readers of all ages.
