Looks to us like Jonathan Van Ness has derived his likeness in animal form — in the shape of Peanut, a bouncy, lovable gerbil obsessed with rhythmic gymnastics. This selection stands out for its use of “their” as the pronoun of choice, introducing (some) kids to the concept of children being non-binary — and, just as importantly, that fact being something routine and unremarkable. Cuteness is an understatement here. Young children will love this warm embrace of a book.
