Corebooks

A young donkey rushes through life, confounding gender stereotypes with her boisterous behaviour. When people assume she’s a boy, she repeatedly declares ‘I’m a girl!’. Eventually she makes friends with a boy who is equally at ease with his own individuality. The colourful smudgy illustrations with their unfinished edges reflect the exuberant and whirlwind pace of the story. A picture book which is full of fun and will challenge assumptions and encourage reflection about the negative and positive associations around characteristics considered to be typical of girls and boys.
