A nonbinary protagonist wants a purse for their huge collection of things. They then spend the rest of the book putting things into their purse.
For readers looking for 💕: Zaney children's books, nonbinary protagonists, representation, and playful illustrations.
My thoughts ðŸ’: I love books that explore gender, especially children's books. I couldn't get into the nonsense that became steadily less and less on topic. I also didn't really understand why the world became more and more colorful as Harmon put more and more things into the purse or what a "more graceful shaboom" had to do with anything at the end of the book. However, if you want a zaney picturebook with representative characters, look no further!

Really cute book about a non-binary kid named Harmon. Cute and a bit silly, I loved it and look forward to sharing it with the kids in my life.
