5 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
A dedicated mom puts love into action as she creates the perfect rainbow-colored wig for her transgender daughter, based on the real-life experience of mother-daughter advocate duo Trinity and DeShanna Neal. Warm morning sunlight and love fill the Neal home. And on one quiet day, playtime leads to an important realization:Trinity wants long hair like her dolls. She needs it to express who she truly is. So her family decides to take a trip to the beauty supply store, but none of the wigs is the perfect fit. Determined, Mom leaves with bundles of hair in hand, ready to craft a wig as colorful and vibrant as her daughter is. With powerful text by Trinity and DeShanna Neal and radiant art by Art Twink, My Rainbow is a celebration of showing up as our full selves with the people who have seen us fully all along.

Such a sweet picture book! I may have teared up a bit reading as the mom searched for ways to support her daughter. This story touches on social aesthetic elements of being trans when Trinity expresses wanting long hair because she's a trans girl and it will help other people see who she is, and it drives into autism experiences when discussing the way Triniti struggles with the sensory stimulus of having long hair. #LGBTQ #Autism #LGBTQIA

First, I have to give some #CoverLove to this one. It is an #OwnVoices picture book by a mother / daughter duo. Trinity is “a Black transgender girl on the autism spectrum.” While playing with her dolls she has an upsetting realization: Cisgender girls can have short hair, but not trans girls. Because Trinity is so sensitive, she has had trouble growing her hair. Wanting to make her happy, her brother comes up with a solution. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This a fun picture book about a little trans girl finding the right hairstyle that fits her best! It's wonderful to see more stories focused on Black LGBTQ+ characters. I also want to note that the main character is autistic which is great. I would recommend this book as a good one on one story time since it is a bit wordy and would make it hard for a crowd of little ones to pay attention to for long.
