In that magical moment between night and day, when the sun and moon share the sky, a child is born. Miu Lan is not like the others: they can change however they please, guided by their imagination. As they prepare to start school, a challenge arises: boy or girl? Bird or fish? Flower or shooting star? Why must they choose? A child of fur, feathers, scales, leaves, and glitter, Miu Lan finds comfort in her mother’s arms, who offers her this refrain of love:
tout ce dont tu rêves
tu peux le devenir
des étoiles dans le ciel
aux poissons dans la meranything you dream of
you can become
from the stars in the sky
to the fish in the sea
A book for non-binary children and their friends, introducing the use of the gender-neutral pronoun “iel.”/they.
