My Maddy

by Gayle E. Pitman (she/her) 

Illustrated by Violet Tobacco (she/her)

The Gender Creative Child, by Diane Ehrensaft, PhD

While this won’t work well for every family, this can be a loving, affirming ode to parents who are gender fluid or nonbinary.

My Maddy has hazel eyes which are not brown or green. And my Maddy likes sporks because they are not quite a spoon or a fork. Most mommies are girls. Most daddies are boys. But lots of parents are neither a boy nor a girl, My Maddy shows how some of the best things in the world are not one thing or the other. They are something in between and entirely their own.

Randall Ehrbar, PsyD, offers an insightful note with more information about parents who are members of gender minority communities, including transgender, gender nonbinary, or otherwise gender diverse people.
