Because who you are is beautiful and worthy of love.

This whimsically joyful picture book is an empowering children’s book that celebrates individuality across the rainbow-hued spectrum. With playful rhyme and exuberant illustrations, author-illustrator Chris Paul Rainbows Farias (they/them) celebrates the freedom to express yourself and the beauty of being exactly who you are.

Readers are invited to imagine a world where animals are hilariously limited in what they can do but humans are gloriously free to saunter, flaunt, and wear just what we want. From lipsticked llamas to tumbling giraffes, each page bursts with colorful chaos and loving affirmation.

At its heart, this is the book Chris wished they’d had as a kid growing up in a small town—one that gently opens the door to conversations about self-expression, gender, and being true to yourself.
