Children's Event: Abby Pete & Leslie Pontz, Harvey the Hippo Meets Mickey Mandarin

  • Big Blue Marble Bookstore 551 Carpenter Lane Philadelphia, PA, 19119 United States (map)

Non-binary pride for kids! Harvey the Hippo Meets Mickey Mandarin is a story of gender binary and non-binary new friends making introductions, learning a little background about each other and finding that although they may identify differently, they all still like to play and have fun the same way. The animals are proud to say how they like to be addressed, such as he/him, she/her or they/them.

This sweet picture book offers a sensitive, loving introduction to gender identification. It’s the second collaboration from local sisters Abby and Leslie, who published Harvey the Hippo: A Tale of Good Food Choices in 2021. Pre-order your copy for signing here!
