Synopsis
'Beautifully illustrated and a simple introduction to the complex topic of gender, gender identity and gender expression.' - Fox Fisher, film-maker, artist, and trans campaigner Vincent is a fox who loves to play dress-up with their brothers and sisters, but when they always choose to dress up as female characters, Vincent's siblings begin to wonder why. Vincent knows they are actually a girl more than anything else, and with the support of friends and family they transition to living as their true self. This is the fun and sensitive story of one fox's journey to realise their gender identity and the importance of being who you are. Part of the Truth & Tails series, which aims to eliminate prejudices and encourage acceptance in young children aged 4-8, this story of growing up transgender is accompanied by hand-drawn, watercolour illustrations.

Beautifully illustrated and a simple introduction to the complex topic of gender, gender identity and gender expression. Offers children and their parents an easy way to start a conversation about gender. Humanising trans issues through anthropomorphic wild-life. -- Fox Fisher, film-maker, artist, and trans campaigner This is a wonderful children's? book. A really useful resource for discussing diversity, and gender identity with young people. A definite must-read for anyone discussing diversity, gender, or LGBT issues. -- Aimee Challenor, Equality Campaigner, Political Spokesperson, Pride Trustee This text is a needed contribution to LGBTQ* children's literature. The inclusion of an adult transgender character able to help Vincent the Vixen reach self-awareness in a positive way is critical to conversations about LGBTQ youth who frequently grow up in cisgender heterosexual households where a lack of common experience, regardless of the best intentions, can lead to feelings of isolation. This is an impressive text that accommodates even the youngest readers while introducing important ideas into the emerging canon of LGBTQ* children's literature. -- Raise Them Righteous
