Sunday 6/6 @ 11AM
We’re not sure if illustrator Andy Passchier’s book, What Are Your Words? A Book About Pronouns, is going to be helpful to people changing pronouns to match their gender identity. Sympathetic people (as opposed to politicians trying to score cheap points) are usually willing to call them what they prefer. But what if they encounter a scenario like the one described here?
“Whenever Ari’s Uncle Lior comes to visit, they ask Ari one question: ‘What are your words?’ Some days Ari uses she/her. Other days Ari uses he/him. But on the day of the neighborhood’s big summer bash, Ari doesn’t know what words to use. As Ari tries on different pronouns, they discover that it’s okay to not know your words right away — sometimes you have to wait for your words to find you.”
Well, maybe the book straightens this out. We do know, however, that Cleveland’s tallest drag queen Veranda L’Ni is ALWAYS entertaining. And L’Ni will join Passchier at Visible Voice Books in Tremont for a book launch/signing that will be both in-person and streaming. To attend in person, RSVP here, if there’s still room (L’Ni is very popular!)
