(3) K-3 Open-ended questions encourage readers to consider our assumptions about gender. "Who made these rules? Do we need to follow them? What happens if we don't want to?" An opening double-page spread of labeled images--e.g., "blue things," "pink things," "ballet," "building blocks"--gets the conversation started, asking "Are some for girls? Are some for boys? Are some for everyone?" Gravel's friendly cartoon drawings welcome all readers to a thoughtful discussion of gendered language, identity, laws, and unspoken rules that try to proscribe what men and women can and can't do. A handful of gender pioneers are introduced, including the first male U.S. Army nurse; a Zuni Mexican two-spirit person; and girls' rights advocate, Malala Yousafzai. A list of related websites is included on the copyright pages; "Fun facts about gender and clothing" concludes the book.
