Guthli is everyones favorite a happy child who likes to draw fairies, swing, and cycle. But then one day she is told not to wear her sisters frilly frock that she loves, but her "own" boys clothes. And things erupt. Why do you keep saying Im a boy when Im a girl? she asks her mother. In that simple question lies all the bewilderment that children like Guthli feel, who dont seem to others what they know they are. The gentle story about gender identity tells it like it is, reality echoed in the flatness of the vibrant cutout illustrations.
