Meet Ari, a young person who doesn't like to be called by their birth name Edward: When I think of the name Edward, I imagine old kings who snore a lot.\" Throughout this beautiful and engaging picture book, we watch Ari grow up before our very eyes as they navigate the ins and outs of their gender identity; we see how, as a child, they prefer dolls and princess movies, and want to grow out their hair, though their father insists on cutting it short, because that's \"what a boy looks like.\" At ten, they play hockey but wish they could try on their mother's dresses; at fifteen, they shave their body, hoping to have smooth skin like the girls. At sixteen, they want to run away, especially from their father, who insists, \"You're a boy, so you have to act like one.\" Who will Ari become? Moving from age six to adolescence, The Name I Call Myself touchingly depicts Edward's tender, solitary gender journey to Ari: a new life distinguished and made.\"    BIPOC  LGBTQ2+  Read Aloud\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43664922869820,"sku":null,"price":15.96,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/3677\/6508\/files\/9781551528090.jpg?v=1762982907","url":"https:\/\/nssbb.ednet.ns.ca\/fr\/products\/the-name-i-call-myself-34315","provider":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
