A great book of real power, this will be useful in schools, at home, and just about anywhere. We learn the meaning of words like: gender and gender identity, intersex, cisgender, asexual, gay and lesbian, straight (hetrosexual), bisexual (pansexual), orientations (sexual or romantic), discrimination, sexism, transgender and transphobia, and homophobia. All these are described in simple but truthful terms with easily understood and enjoyable vignette picture to go with them. I must say, I learned a lot! -- Branfman, Jonathan and Benbassat, Julie * healthyBooks * You Be You! is a much needed honest, inclusive and respectful guide that should be read by all kids and adults alike!
