You've likely heard of any number of visibility days. On July 14, join us in celebrating Non-Binary Awareness Day! Being non-binary means that you don't feel comfortable identifying as male or female. Maybe you're a little of both or a lot of neither, or somewhere completely in the middle: either way, these books all celebrate that unique identity!

Ho'onani doesn't feel like a wahine (girl) or a kane (boy) but rather mahu (in the middle). So when the school hula troop needs a Hula Warrior to lead the traditionally male dance, she doesn't hesitate to lead the chant. After all, she's the strongest and the loudest, so why shouldn't she?
