Raves and Reviews
"This short guide is in an affable, friendly way to answer some questions about gender-neutral language and give insight into the conversation from someone who is living that reality."
– Teen Vogue
"A great, simple look at the importance of using correct pronouns; extremely accessible to those for whom gender-neutral language is a new concept."
– School Library Journal (starred review)
"A funny and friendly guide to being respectful."
– Mara Wilson, actress and author of Where Am I Now? True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame
"There are a lot of ways to teach people how to be good allies to non-binary people and others who use they/them pronouns, but in my opinion, a comic book with two friends having a conversation about how, when and why to use them while also making jokes and funny faces is absolutely the best way."
