Narration As 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.

Commentary About Books Goblinheart

My 8 year old is Julep from this book for halloween.

By chance, I happened to go to a poetry reading at Greenfield Community College where Brett Axel was the featured poet. I was surprized and delighted to discover that as well as several books of poetry he had a children's book that dealt with gender identity and transgender issues simply and not contraversially, for five and six year olds. I read it and it is truly great.I can't say how great it would have been if the kids I had gone to school with had read this book before they met me. I think

This is a sweet, delightful book for boys or girls.

I've never read a book before that didn't have gender pronouns in it. You can't apply your preconceived notions about gender to characters if you don't know what gender the characters are.Its really a wonderful story even without that. One of my favorite books ever.

I'm so thankful my teacher found this book for me. It is a lifeline in a dark world.

At first glance, Goblinheart is just a fairy tale, albeit with fairies and goblins. In the book's fantasy world, the fairies have a certain set of physical characteristics and roles in the community, and the goblins have a different but complimentary set of characteristics and roles. Perhaps that sounds familiar, or perhaps not. Like The Story of Ferdinand, part of Goblinheart's brilliance is that it can be discussed as an allegory or simply appreciated as a fairy tale. As such, it is an ideal

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...
