卡琳·彭德尔顿·希门尼斯的儿童读物《你是男孩还是女孩？》（绿龙出版社，2000），代表了幼儿课堂酷儿文学的一个里程碑式的成就，值得学前和小学教师、从事幼儿教育的学者和家长，特别是有性别不符合儿童的家长特别关注。它比《威廉的娃娃》（Zolotow, 1985）和《奥利弗·巴顿是个娘娘子》（DePaola, 1990）等书迈出了一大步，并在幼儿之间开启了一场关于性别角色僵化以及男孩和女孩“适当”活动和行为的对话。这本书很重要，因为它可能是课堂干预的开始，以支持学校里性别不一致的孩子。在这一点上，在美国和加拿大，课堂教师必须主动为这些孩子创造资源和支持。在最好的情况下，通过新的反欺凌课程或在体育课上讨论“假小子”来解决性别不一致的问题。Jimenez的书在多伦多地区的学校中得到了广泛的应用，人们可以希望这种课堂实践在不久的将来会导致课程和课程的发展。这本书的扉页不仅有一张作者小时候在足球场上的迷人照片，而且还为这本书设定了一个雄心勃勃的计划：孩子们花很多时间争论什么让男孩成为男孩，什么让女孩成为女孩。这是一个选择的时刻。这是一个创造自我的时刻。这可能是一个融合和拥抱他们表达自己的多种方式的时候
Karleen Pendleton Jimenez’s book for young children, Are You a Boy or a Girl? (Green Dragon Press, 2000), represents a landmark achievement in queer literature in the early childhood classroom and deserves special attention by pre-school and primary teachers, academics working in early childhood education, and parents, particularly parents with gender nonconforming children. It takes a great step beyond books like William’s Doll (Zolotow, 1985) and Oliver Button Is a Sissy (DePaola, 1990) and opens up a conversation among young children about the rigidity of gender roles and “appropriate” activities and behavior for boys and girls. This book is important because it could be the start of classroom-based interventions to support gender nonconforming children in schools. At this point, throughout the United States and Canada, classroom teachers must take their own initiative in creating resources and support for these children. At best, gender nonconformity is addressed through new, anti-bullying curriculum or through a discussion of “tomboys” in gym class. Jimenez’s book has seen strong utilization in Toronto area schools and one can hope that this classroom practice will result in program and curriculum development in the near future. The title page of the book includes not only a charming picture of the author as a child on the soccer field whose sex is not readily apparent, but also sets out an ambitious project for this book: Kids spend a lot of time debating with each other over what makes a boy a boy and a girl a girl. It’s a time of choices. It’s a time of creating themselves. It could be a time for blending and embracing the many ways they express them-
