My Shadow is Purple

Author and illustrator: Scott Stuart

At school, it appears that everyone has either a blue shadow, or a pink shadow, but our narrator’s shadow is purple. When the class is told to choose between pink or blue, our narrator doesn’t know what to do. A picture book exploring gender beyond the binary, and celebrating all the colours of our selves.
