A beautifully illustrated picture book for young children about gender dysphoria, explaining what it is and how to deal with it. It contains a monster-themed short story and an accompanying guide for parents with terminology, the author's experiences, and further information.

An Empowering Story to Help Children Cope with Gender Dysphoria

Me and My Dysphoria Monster

Ana V. 

An amazing picture book of a child dealing with depression and dysphoria. Nisha can't find her place among friends and the community and it cripples her life because she doesn't feel comfortable when she wears boys' clothes and people call her a boy. Learning from those who have experienced it she manages to teach others and adults how to address her. I love the artwork, but mostly the design of this book, not only there are multiple splash illustrations to break from full pages, but also the font plays a part in the story and design of the page. Has a very useful "adult guide" of vital nomenclature to understand how to make others comfortable.
