About This Book
Reach for this book when your child expresses feeling out of place in gendered groups, or when you want to introduce the concept of nonbinary identity through a gentle, nature-based lens. It is an ideal resource for navigating conversations about pronouns and the beauty of being exactly who you are without the pressure of fitting into a specific box. The story follows Alex on a class trip to the aquarium, where students are asked to choose a sea creature they most identify with. While others find easy matches, Alex struggles until they discover the goby, a fish that reflects their own fluid sense of self. It is a warm, affirming story for children ages 4 to 8 that validates the search for personal identity while celebrating curiosity and the wonders of the natural world.
