About the Book

“With effusively inclusive rhyming language...this affectionate volume imbues a classic 'be yourself' narrative with gender-expansive affirmations, positioning guardians as partners in their children’s journey to 'find what’s authentic & true.'” —Publishers Weekly

Quiet and loud, soft and strong. You being you, there’s no way to be wrong…

Every day, parents come home from the hospital with a brand-new human being. What if we made vows to our babies to love them no matter what? What if the world didn't rush in to judge our little ones and instead made them feel truly seen and supported.

With bright, vibrant illustrations and exuberant rhythm and rhyme, Whoever You Are is the ultimate vow every baby will love to grow up hearing.

Publishers Weekly

Don’t let the simplicity of this book fool you – If every parent read their child books like these early on, raising inclusive, loving kids would be as easy as teaching them to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you.’

Foreword Reviews

Bright colors and minimalist illustrations make this inclusive, rhyming book engaging and easy to follow as it assures children in no uncertain terms that they are worthy of and will be provided love, no matter who or what they become.
