Reflection Press Crowdfund- The Gender & Infinity Book

 

Hey, my folks Maya and Matthew of “Reflection Press” just launched a new kids book project! It’s called the Gender & Infinity Book and it’s a story/guide for all children.
Go to the campaign with THIS LINK
All the good info you need to know about the project is on their site, but I’;; just say that these two have been doing pioneering work to develop stories, art, books, curriculum, and games for all people to enjoy, but especially for gender fluid and Queer kids and those who support them. Feel me? 

Right now you got mayors, governors, etc actively trying to criminalize young people who identify outside of Boy or Girl, or who are Queer. For no more than fear and ignorance. So this work is serious for those kids and families who are going through it and looking for more tools to reflect with and to share. 
Again, check out their project HERE and spread the word to open minded people.
