Homebody
Discovering What It Means To Be Me
Description of book
An unmissable graphic memoir perfect for fans of the global hit Heartstopper and Juno Dawson's What's the T?
Hello! I’m Theo. I like cats, Dungeons & Dragons . . . and I’m trans and non-binary.
Ever since I was young, I’ve been on a journey to explore who I am. To discover the things that make me . . . me.
Sometimes it can feel like the world is trying to fit you into a box, to label you one way or another, but there is nothing more wonderful than finding your true authentic self, whoever you are. Whether you are transgender or cisgender, we are all searching for ways to make our houses feel like homes . . .
In Homebody, Theo tells the heartwarming story of discovering how to live life on their own terms.
This graphic novel audio has been specially adapted with sound design and music to bring the graphics to life. The audiobook is performed by Roly Botha, featuring Annabel Baldwin and George Naylor, and features an exclusive Q&A between Roly and Theo.
‘The most radical act of self love is living authentically in a world that takes every opportunity to squeeze you into a box of someone else’s design.’

Beautiful audio book!I recommend
Being nonbinary/trans myself, I found a lot of relatable experiences in Theo's recollection of their childhood, and I really loved how hopeful it is, considering the political climate towards trans people right now!Book★5

Everyone should read this. Children that might feel similar. The other children that might interact with trans children. Parents. Queer people wanting a lovely story that might resonate. And people that say they just don't get trans people or they/them pronouns. Everyone.A must-read

- Someone I love recently came out as transgender. For me it is important and beautiful to delve into this so that I can then be better for that person.

"I feel so selfish. It feels like I'll be asking everyone around me to change so much. Just for the sake of my comfort. Do I even deserve that?" 🥺
"There is no one way to be transgender, just like there is no one way to be cisgender. We are all just trying to find a place to call our own. We are all deserving of comfort and safety. A place to call home." ❤️Book★5
