Menino, Menina
(Boy, Girl) Book not yet available in English
Summary:
Using simple language, the book questions the labels that are assigned at birth: boy or girl, blue or pink, trousers or skirt. As an alternative to a black and white world, Joana Estrela shows a multitude of colours, behaviours and ways of dressing and guarantees that each person’s identity cannot be summed up in half a dozen words. Menino, Menina tackles the subject of gender identity with humour, respect and sensitivity.
