'My Dad's name is Haley. She used to be a he but now she is a she! Last year she did this
thing called transition. She grew her hair long, painted her nails in bright colours and
started wearing different clothes.'
When Mini's cousin accidentally misgenders her dad Haley, Mini explains why
misgendering is hurtful and why we need to treat trans people with respect. Mini speaks
with confidence about transitioning and gender identity, and helps to educate and
empower others with trans relatives or friends.
This brightly illustrated book for children aged 3 - 7 will aid discussion with children about
a loved one transitioning or about trans people in general. Featuring a child with a dad
who has transitioned, this book passes on an important message about acceptance and
respect, and covers pronouns, dysphoria, family diversity and misgendering.

Juno Roche
author of Gender Explorers, Queer Sex and Trans PowerA simple story that speaks volumes about the kindness and joy in acceptance. An incredibly useful book for an early years setting.'
Ugla Stefanía Kristjönudóttir Jónsdóttir (Owl)
writer and co-director of My GenderationA sweet, gentle book that doesn't make being transgender a big deal at all. It's presented as a part of every day life and will allow kids to connect to the characters and at the same time learn about different types of families. An wonderful book for people's home collection, schools and libraries.

Author of "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Trans* (*But Were Afraid to Ask)"When I transitioned a decade ago, there was nothing like this for our children. "She's my Dad," provides children with a gentle story to assuage their worries about what it means when a parent transitions while emphasizing their parents unconditional love through it all. I wish something like this had been available for our children in 2011 when we told them I was transitioning.
