A rhyming picture book about gender expression featuring parents as they dream about who their child will be. Before you were born, we all wanted to know who you would be and how you would grow. "Nursery in pink Or nursery in blue" Everyone always asked about you. Journey through all the colors of the rainbow as new parents introduce their baby to the endless colorful possibilities of each day. A rainbow of choices, colorful and bright. What feels best to you Which colors are right Who You Will Be is a joyously illustrated rhyming story about a child's journey of self-expression and the unconditional love between parent and child. Perfect for fans of Pink Is for Boys and Julian Is a Mermaid.
