One of a Kind Like Me- Audio coverage

 

This is a short interview author Laurin Mayeno did recently to talk about our book “One of a kind, like me” or “Unico Como Yo” which Gender Nation bought along with tons of other Lgbtq / Gender fluid stories. While our book has been banned in some states, schools like Nystrom in Richmond California and in other cities are getting more thanks to Gender Nation; an organization dedicated to affirming queer kids by getting books like ours into schools.

If you’re new to the book this is the 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?

This is the last post I made about Gender Nation who you should support! If you want to buy the book, cop it here.

Gender Nation – One of a Kind Like Me

 

So recently a picture book I worked on with Laurin Mayeno and Blood Orange Press got banned from a few schools. Read that post here. And we got a bunch of negative comments about the book from parents and adults who are frankly scared. They’re scared of folks who they don’t know, understand, or want to have to get to know so they can teach their children to understand them. 
But at the same time we got some good news! This organization Gender Nation founded by two parents who have queer kids to get books about the LGBTQ community and diverse stories into San Diego schools. They fundraise, and get these books into schools where they might not have the $ or just didn’t know about them. And our book “One of a kind, like me/ Unico Como Yo” is one of their books.
Please watch the video and go to their fundraising page because they’re now aiming to get these books into schools in Los Angeles, one of the biggest school districts in the US.
