Description

A children’s picture book that incorporates lush visual storytelling with poetic language to tell the tale of a magical gender variant child named Miu Lan, who can change into any shape they can imagine. Born in a magical time when both the sun and the moon are in the sky, Miu Lan faces challenges at school from peers who struggle to accept them for who they are. Despite this, they find solace in their mother's unwavering love and support, who reassures them that they can be anything they dream of, from the stars in the sky to the fish in the sea. The book celebrates individuality and challenges traditional gender, racial, and body stereotypes while honoring timeless fairy-tale themes.
