Join local author Sharon Mentyka and illustrator Stephen Schlott on Friday, March 13, 7–9pm at Secret Garden Books, in
Ballard for the book party and launch for B IN THE WORLD, a chapter
book for kids ages 5 and up and the people who love them, that takes an
open-hearted, kids-eyed view of what it means to be “different” and
celebrates children for who they are meant to be, not how others want to
label them.
B
IN THE WORLD tells the story of B, who "wasn’t really sure why one day
he felt like wearing overalls and a flannel shirt, and the next day woke
up wishing he could dress like his sister Patti-Anne.” The book is
intended for both children and families who may have personal
experience with gender non-conforming children but is also appropriate
for all families interested in teaching tolerance and broadening their
understanding of gender diversity. Kids are welcome! There will be dress-up activities and cupcakes! More information is available at the book’s website:http:www.bintheworld.com
