Bill and Byron: Trans inclusivity children's book

Bill and Shirley are the best friends two elephants can be. They’re together all the time, building cities out of blocks, being pirates in the back yard, and making up plays. They like some of the same things, like computer games and baseball, but Shirley likes girly things too, like dress-up and dancing.

One day, Bill goes over to play with Shirley to find that she doesn’t want to be a she anymore. Now Shirley’s name is Byron, and he’s a him, not a her. Byron still likes computer games and baseball, but his favorite color is still pink, and he still likes dress-up and dancing. Bill finds this confusing. If Byron’s a boy now, shouldn’t he stop liking girly things?

Bill and Byron introduces the idea of gender fluidity and interest diversity to children, and teaches the importance of acceptance and friendship. The funds from this GoFundMe will be used to pay Abby Magno, Bill and Byron's artist, for the complete, illustrated book as well as going towards publishing the finished project with Ingram so it can be carried by all major retailors.
