Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The internet’s “World’s Best Father," award-winning photographer Dave Engledow, follows up his picture book debut, The Little Girl Who Didn’t Want to Go to Bed, with a new hilarious, eye-popping photographic adventure in The Little Girl Who Wanted to Be Big. There once was a little girl who wanted to be big. Her dad told her that to be big, she had to think big. So she did—she grew taller than the tallest buildings, larger than the largest mountain, and big enough to reach the farthest plants. But being the biggest person in the universe also makes it hard to go home. What’s the biggest girl in the world to do when she’s grown up a little too fast? Dave Engledow first made waves on the internet with a picture he took of himself groggily cradling his daughter, Alice, like a football and squirting milk from her bottle into a “World’s Best Father” mug of coffee. Dave’s fathering adventures only got sillier, and soon he had enough pictures to publish an adult trade book, Confessions of the World’s Best Father. His work has been featured by People, GQ, the Washington Post, BuzzFeed, USA Today, the Today show, Time, and many others. Dave Engledow brings his vibrant photography to a picture book that’s all about why it’s okay to take your time just being a kid.

This is a true story that shares the tale of one of the many children Angela has fostered over the years.

Download or read book I Am Fred written by Nick Rolfe and published by YOUR STORIES MATTER. This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: @page { margin: 2cm } p { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } Felicity is not happy. She feels much more like a boy than a girl. But what will happen when she tells people she wants to be Fred? @page { margin: 2cm } p { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } This illustrated children's story explains what it feels like to be a child who isn't happy in their own body. It is aimed at young children, using animals rather than humans, to share what it means to be transgender without using the term itself. The story could also be used in discussion with young children about what it feels to be different. Part of the Rainbow Street Series, I Am Fred is a story based on real-life discussions between a mother and her son who, inside, increasingly felt more like a girl. The book came out of stories the author told her younger 5-year-old son to try to explain his teenage brother’s gradual transition into a girl. How do you talk about sexual identity to a young child who does not yet know about sex? Is it right and appropriate to discuss sexual topics with young children? That’s the point, this book is not about sex it is about self-esteem, self-awareness and self-identity: gender identity. With this understanding comes diversity and acceptance. This book easily finds a home at Your Stories Matter, alongside other diversities including dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD and autism. The Rainbow Street books are all aimed at 4- to 6-year-old children, using colourful pictures of animals to tell stories of gender identity. They all share the common theme of acceptance and could equally be used at home and in school to discuss all forms of difference and diversity. @page { margin: 2cm } p { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } By sharing the Rainbow Street Series of books with young children, the aim is to make gender diversity no big deal and no different to accepting and respecting ethnic diversity, religious diversity and forms of neurodiversity. Stories in the series cover topics ranging from gender identity and adoption by same-sex parents, through to single fatherhood and it being ok to live alone in old age. As with all of its books, the publisher - Your Stories Matter – aims to help people know they are not alone with what makes them different. If a young person or adult can relate to a story, it gives them hope and encourages them to share their concerns. The publisher aims to provide free teaching resources for all of its books that can be used in schools, to help improve understanding and celebrate differences. @page { margin: 2cm } p { margin-bottom: 0.21cm }
