Courtney and Lee Talk About Pronouns


Listen Later

Dr. Courtney Wells and Lee Wells, authors of A Kids Book About Pronouns, talk about encouraging kids AND grownups to get uncomfortable, learn new things, make mistakes, and choose to keep growing.

A Kids Book About Pronouns (view book)

Full Book Description:

Pronouns are a meaningful part of identifying who we are. We can’t know someone’s preferred pronouns just by looking at them or knowing their name, so it’s important to ask! This book encourages kids AND grownups to get uncomfortable, learn new things, make mistakes, and choose to keep growing. It’s not about always getting it right—it’s about being loving and continuous in our effort.

About the Author:

Dr. Courtney Wells (they/them) and Lee Wells (she/her) are queer, married Chicagoans committed to justice and inclusivity for their and all kids. Courtney is an award-winning trauma psychologist with a super cool TEDx talk on dismantling the gender binary. Lee is a therapist working with LGBTQ+ kids and families and co-founder of Mind Chicago.
