Description

I illustrated this book for author Laurin Mayeno and publisher Janine Macbeth of “Blood Orange Press”. It was published back in 2016 and I still get positive feedback and/or comments from folks about it. It is a story that touches on gender identity and I illustrated it because I had not seen anything like it at the time. I’m glad it is out there in the world as a story that someone will relate to as a parent or a child.

Synopsis

Tomorrow is the school parade, and Danny knows exactly what he will be: a princess. Mommy supports him 100%, and they race to the thrift store to find his costume. It’s almost closing time – will Danny find the costume of his dreams in time? One of A Kind, Like Me / Único como yo is a sweet story about unconditional love and the beauty of individuality. This unique book lifts up children who don’t fit gender stereotypes, and reflects the power of a loving and supportive community.
