Representaion In Pursuance Of Books Goblinheart
Using "fairy" and "goblin" in lieu of female and male, the author has created a timely allegorical fairy tale. A youngster named Julep, who lives in a forest tribe, insists on growing up to be a goblin rather than a fairy. The tribe learns to accept that Julep is a goblin at heart, eventually coming around to support the physical transition that must be made for Julep to live as a goblin.List Books Conducive To Goblinheart

Best book I've ever seen for instilling good values at an early age: tolerance, acceptance of oneself and others, freedom to be who you are at heart regardless of what people expect of you.
I'm so thankful my teacher found this book for me. It is a lifeline in a dark world.
For a kids' book, this book is superb. It makes you wish for more. The artwork is amazing although black and white. The story premiss is excellent and a good message for the kids- they can be whatever they like. If on the inside they feel like someone else, it's ok and they should trust that feeling.Also important to note that it was printed in an exploitation free place.preview here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymHIUL...
I'd heard the book told from memory and was so impressed by it that I borrowed a copy of it to to use during Children's Time at a church I was serving. I just heard it told again at a Pride service I was leading and decided to order my own copy directly from the author on ebay. It will be a valuable resource and a good friend for many years to come.
I chose to include this story in my text set because it depicts a community that not only respects the Juleps feelings and manner of self-expression, they accept them. The community demonstrates the importance of providing individuals with respect and support.
This is a sweet, delightful book for boys or girls.
