This Is Me: The Girl Who Was Really a Boy

Overview

In this story we meet a girl. She used to be happy. But as she grew things did not feel quite right. She felt more like a boy than a girl. What would happen if she told people? Would they understand? Would they help? This Is Me is inspired by a real story and a former teacher's desire to reach out to young children in schools to talk naturally and openly about gender identity and gender transitioning. 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. By sharing this book 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. 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.

Author Information

Lindsay Taylor creates work from the heart. She listens to her surrounding environment and the first thing she thinks about is how a book will help the world to understand the scenario. Taylor has worked with Puffin Books on a series of titles based on her eldest daughter, Hattie B, Magical Vet; she has also worked with Simon and Schuster on Doodle Girl'; but she continuously looks to deliver a message from her heart. Taylor, a primary school teacher, enjoys transporting her readers to a world where they can enjoy and associate their feelings. Being an author makes Taylor feel incredibly blessed and excited how far her tales will travel. She is based in Leicestershire, married to Jamie and has two daughters, Harriet and Annie. In her spare time, she can be found in the stables or in the menage giving orders to her girls and their ponies just enjoy the outdoors and wind in her hair. Artist and illustrator, Marnie Maurri, is the creator of the book character Doodle Girl (originally published by Simon and Schuster) and a beautiful greetings card range published through Blue Eyed Sun. Maurri is a graduate of the Slade School of Fine Art and spends her days painting and drawing individual commissions, prints, cards and other products which she sells privately or through Etsy. A self-confessed detail addict, Maurri's work centres around whimsy and happiness, full of imagination, colour, and intricate detail. Her Marnie Makes Facebook and Instagram pages are filled with beauty and works of boundless creativity, and have a strong, loyal following. Marnie lives happily in Worcestershire with her husband, two teenage boys, and three cats. When not working in her studio she can be found trail running around the countryside or taking time out at the gym.
