She’s my Dad

**Sarah Savage**

Local author **Sarah Savage** has produced a brightly illustrated book for children aged 3 – 7 which engages in an effective and gentle way in an early years setting, telling a positive story of of family diversity. Presented with fun and with key messages being about friends, cuddles, kittens, family & respect, this is a great book to support children whose parents may have transitioned, or starting off on a journey towards their authentic selves. It’s an intergenerational book, with people presented as varied, diverse and accepting as most folk are in real life.

Most importantly it’s also a book about what doesn’t change when a parent transitions; it’s about unconditional love, about family bonds, strong respectful relationships and how families, and children in particular can be resilient, adaptive and creative in their new ways of relating. With a helpful reading guide, sharing vocabulary and explanation’s around pronoun use and respect Savages book is a clarion call of simplicity and care in how a family is still a family even though the gendered term of the parents may change.

Illustrated throughout by [**Joules Garcia** ](https://www.joulesgarcia.com/?ref=scenemag.co.uk)with their bold, warm and colourful graphics, this is a balanced and fun addition to the growing library of books addressing diverse families and the issues they present to healthy learning, acceptance and growing up.
