Penelope is very frustrated that no one can see him for what gender he is. When he explains to his mother that he IS a boy, his life gets brighter. His grandfather explains that in his language gender pronouns are not used. Such a lovely part of this book when his school principal says “Today Penelope, you are my teacher” ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍

We might not always understand each other but it’s so important to be kind and learn from each other.
