Me and My Dysphoria Monster: An Empowering Story to Help Children Cope with Gender Dysphoria by Laura Kate Dale
5.0
A short but important picture book about a trans girl and her dysphoria. After Nisha gets people to use her new name and call her a girl, she gets much more confident and happier, and she's finally able to participate in activities that caused her anxiety before.
It's also important to mention that there's nothing about giving kids surgery or hormones in the book, which is something a lot of conservatives are worried about (and which is sadly a common theme in the government's messaging in my country). At Nisha's age, social transition simply means using the right name and pronouns, letting her wear different clothes, and letting her play with the girls in class.
