Not He or She, I'm Me

I liked the illustrations quite a bit, but was expecting more explanation into why people use they/them pronouns. To me, it felt abrupt to go right from “Good morning” to “Not he or she, I'm me.”

This is a sweet and quaint (yet also vibrantly depicted) story about the course of a child's day, getting ready, going to school, and making new friends. I did also appreciate the “them even when alone” page — how it showed that while gender has to do with how others refer to us, it has as much (if not more) to do with how we think of and refer to ourselves.
