About the book
Meet Ari, a young person who doesn't like to be called by their birth name Edward. Throughout this beautiful and engaging picture book, we watch Ari grow up before our very eyes as they navigate the ins and outs of their gender identity; we see how they prefer dolls and princess movies, and want to grow their hair, though their father insists on cutting it short, Who will Ari become? Moving from age six to adolescence, The Name I Call Myself depicts Edward's tender, solitary gender journey to Ari: a new life distinguished and made meaningful by self-acceptance and unconditional love.
