A Book for Everyone

"Bought this for a baby shower and I definitely read through it before I gifted it. It's a must read for all ages, it's so easy to digest and perfect for anyone of all ages who might be trying to educate themselves towards a more welcoming perspective."

— Anon (5/5)

Absolute gem!

"An absolute gem written so beautifully for kids (and adults) to understand how the segregation of genders can be harmful and that letting children enjoy the things they love without gender limitations is the most important gift you can give them."

— Isabelle (5/5)

Cute and informative

"Bought for a friend who recently came out as non-binary. They were over the moon as it is a cute book and is also useful for them to show their nieces and nephews to help in understanding. 10/10 would buy again"

— Sammyg (5/5)

"I'm always on the lookout for kids books that challenge gender stereotypes and empower kids to embrace their true selves, and this book does so beautifully. . . . Through playful rhyming text the author shines a light on diversity, being true to yourself, respecting others, and understanding that there are many experiences across the gender spectrum. . . .The illustrations in this book burst with joyful colour, radiantly showing young readers the many ways in which we can be our true selves. This heartwarming follow-up to the hugely popular My Shadow is Pink is sure to win hearts everywhere." —Aussie Kids Books

"Best-selling children’s book creator, Scott Stuart, follows his internationally acclaimed title, My Shadow is Pink, with another heart-warming story about being true to yourself, just as you are. . . . With plenty of opportunities for conversation starters, the theme of gender as non-binary has been artfully distilled into an accessible read for young children and families." —Australian Arts Review

"Scott Stuart’s beautiful book is warm, considered, honest and reflective." —Bookwagon

"Affirming.” —Foreword Reviews, starred review of My Shadow Is Pink

“Stuart isn’t just making up stories here—he’s living the support he writes about. [His] take on the theme stands out for its focus on the relationship between the child and his dad and on societal ideas about masculinity.” —Mombian, an LGBTQ parenting blog on My Shadow Is Pink
Scott Stuart is father to a six-year-old boy who loves all things Queen Elsa and princesses. Their story of dressing up as Elsa together became a social media phenomenon. Having worked at The Royal Children's Hospital, he has seen how important it is for children to feel represented and is committed to creating stories of empowerment.

He is the author of the bestselling My Shadow Is Pink, and has appeared on The Today Show and in such publications as People Magazine, Buzzfeed, Huffington Post, Pop Sugar, Parents.com, and more.
