Inclusive Storytelling

What sets Midwife, Wha?! apart is its thoughtful use of gender-inclusive language. The story never assigns pronouns to the midwife’s patients—a rare and powerful choice in children’s books about birth. This subtle approach allows the book to reflect and respect all families, regardless of gender identity.

In a genre where birth stories often follow traditional gender binaries, Midwife, Wha?! offers a refreshingly inclusive and welcoming perspective. It affirms the identities and experiences of all families and children—without making gender the central theme of the story.
