At lunchtime, all of Tom's friends gather at school to work together building their house. Each one of them has a special job to do, and each one of them has a different way of expressing their gender identity. Jackson is a boy who likes to wear dresses. Ivy is a girl who likes her hair cut really short. Alex doesn't feel like 'just' a boy, or 'just' a girl. They are all the same, they are all different - but they are all friends. A very simple story that challenges gender stereotypes and shows 4 to 8 year olds that it is OK to be yourself. An engaging story that is more than just an educational tool; this book will assist parents and teachers in giving children the space to explore the full spectrum of gender diversity and will show children the many ways they can express their gender in a truly positive light. Market: Children aged 4 - 8; their parents/families; early years and schools; professionals working with gender diverse children such as psychologists, healthcare professionals, social workers; gender organisations and charities.
Industry Reviews
In this era of gender revolution, A House for Everyone reminds us that gender isnt two boxes but a rainbow with room for children of every gender. Jo Hirsts brilliant book teaches all our children about gender identity and gender expressions while celebrating gender acceptance--lets bring it to every classroom and household.

A vibrant, up-beat story about inclusion and acceptance, looking past stereotypes and embracing human differences. Its a much-needed resource in the Gender Identity category.
