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.
