In "Tu peux," Elise Gravel playfully deconstructs gender stereotypes to help children become whatever they want to be—except mean and rude, of course!
Can a girl fart or speak loudly? What about a boy who cries, cooks, or dances? Of course! In *Tu peux*, Elise Gravel playfully breaks down gender stereotypes to help children be whatever they want to be—except mean and rude, of course! Through activities we can all do—as well as feelings we can all experience, regardless of whether we’re girls or boys—the author guides children in challenging certain gender stereotypes. The book encourages children to question not only activities but also so-called “gendered” emotions. The series of funny and humorous illustrations makes it possible to tackle these important topics with a light touch from a very young age. Children will be able to internalize early on—and for the long term—that whether they’re girls or boys, they can be creative, funny, sensitive, timid, caring toward others, help with household chores, get dirty, dance, and do many other things. Elise won the Governor General’s Literary Award in 2012, one of Canada’s most prestigious awards.
