This is a great book! Will be left on the break room table. Funny and serious at the same time.

A cute book about using they/them pronouns and gender identity.

An excellent introduction to gender neutral pronouns--how to use them, how to correct a mistake in using the wrong ones, and how to adapt your language to be more inclusive. By changing a few simple words to a few other simple words, you can not only make your language more inclusive, but also make sure you don't offend anyone by misgendering them. Jimerson introduced neutral language into his business and much of the advice could definitely be used in a training session at a business or any other situation where a large group of people are working together. Much of the advice was stuff I had picked up from a variety of sources over the years, but it was nice to see all of that validated and compiled into a short comic like this!

Definitely recommended for anyone who wants to be a better ally!

Pronouns are a difficult topic. Some of us feel like the rules for using them are engraved in our brains, some people feel like the rules are engraved in stone, and some feel like they're being stabbed every time the wrong pronouns are used for them. No matter what pronouns you use, you probably have questions. Archie and Tristan have answers, advice, and info. Archie uses they/them and Tristan uses he/him so we get different perspectives. Archie lets us know why pronouns are so important and Tristan is a good example of an ally.

This short book is a conversation between them and the reader. It's fun and well-drawn. The art style looks loose but the expressions are spot-on when they need to be. There's plenty of humor and the relationship between Archie and Tristan is comfortable and relatable.

The focus here is why pronouns are important, what to say in some common (and sometimes uncomfortable) situations, and that really this is all about creating a safe, welcoming space for everyone. I look forward to the other guides in this series.
