PEANUT GOES FOR THE GOLD by Jonathan Van Ness

I must share this amazing book! PEANUT GOES FOR THE GOLD by Jonathan Van Ness is about a guinea pig named Peanut who identifies as non-binary. They love banana pancakes, cartwheels, and hula-hoops. When Peanut announces they are going to become a rhythmic gymnast, everyone pitches in to help make their dream come true. Though some people may think Peanut is weird, that doesn't keep Peanut from having fun and doing things their way. 

Jonathan Van Ness, of Queer Eye fame, joins forces with illustrator Gillian Reid to create this awesome new picture book. With a focus on being who you are and expressing yourself as you wish, PEANUT GOES FOR THE GOLD is sure to help kids be comfortable with themselves and each other. It will also give many adults a little something to think about.
