Celebrate Pride Month at the Courtenay library when local author Sydney Sunderland reads from her picture book I Am Everything In Between on June 11 from 2 to 3 p.m.
I Am Everything In Between highlights kids who don’t fit into stereotypical gender ideals. This book celebrates children and how they gender identify by sending a positive message that regardless of biological gender, it’s okay to feel like a girl, it’s okay to feel like a boy, and it’s okay to feel like ‘everything in between.’
