A MORE GRACEFUL SHABOOM is one of the first children's books ever written to feature a non-binary character who uses they and them pronouns. ‌ ‌ Jacinta Bunnell, author of five groundbreaking coloring books about gender, has teamed up with Crystal Vielula to bring you a story about a spunky, non-binary protagonist named Harmon Jitney who finds joy in a magical purse, leading to an extraordinary, previously undiscovered, universe. A More Graceful Shaboom features LGBTQ characters seamlessly woven into a delightful, imaginative story, without being an overt "lesson book" about gender and sexuality. This is one of the first children's books ever written to feature a non-binary character who uses they and them pronouns. Follow Harmon Jitney and their two moms as they unlock the key to their own inner joy and understanding of community. We are raising funds with Kickstarter to get this LGBTQ kids' book into the world and into as many hands as possible. Learn more about the magical story, why we want to make this book, and all the amazing rewards you can get to support this project. We *really* encourage you to watch the video. It's beautiful and hopeful at a time when we could all use some hope. LEARN MORE Your support will make this character come to life for so many children that need to see themselves in print. “A More Graceful Shaboom is what would happen if Remy Charlip and Freddy Mercury had a baby. It’s what would happen if you could live in Narnia and Woodstock at the same time. It’s what would happen if the idea of inclusiveness was taken to the outer edges of the universe. There’s room enough for everyone, plus there’s a disco ball. That’s enough for me.” —Brian Selznick, author of The Invention of Hugo Cabret “This hilarious, sweet, and witty book will open hearts and minds to the many possibilities beyond what is expected and constrained by society. Harmon’s quest for a purse—something to hold their many treasures—will resonate with anyone who has ever searched for a way to make the world a little more beautiful." —Jen Doll, author of Unclaimed Baggage Jacinta Bunnell’s nonsense world—where children control the backhoes and there is a purse for every occasion—will be uncannily familiar to kid and adult readers, since it’s the very world we live in, with a few fabulous alterations. Each time I read it I can’t wait to go back.” —Cory Silverberg, author of What Makes a Baby Here are Jacinta Bunnell's gender-bending coloring books and the queer activist health book in which Jacinta illustrated "coloring breaks." You can get copies of all of them on the Kickstarter or here. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ View as Webpage PM Press | PO Box 23912, Oakland, CA 94623 Unsubscribe [email protected] Update Profile | About Constant Contact Sent by [email protected] in collaboration with Try email marketing for free today!
