Riley Can't Stop Crying | Stéphanie Boulay
4 posts | 2 read
Riley is inconsolable. He can't stop crying and nothing is making him feel better. His sister, Regina, tries her best to help him figure out what's wrong, but four-year-old Riley isn't sure. It's not his tummy, or his head, or the monsters under the bed. Regina and their dad try everything they can to make Riley smile, but nothing works until one day Regina has an idea. Maybe it'sRileythat is making Riley upset. Regina knows what it feels like to be uncomfortable in her body, but she also knows that she's pretty amazing and really good at a lot of things. So how can she help Riley see that he's pretty amazing and really good at a lot of things? A charming story about a child's search for his true self under the compassionate eye of his older sister.

Questioning/nonconforming gender identity is the topic of this charming picture book for children in Grades 1-5. An older sibling of an unhappy 4-year-old is the first to realize what might help: choosing his clothes, toys & hairstyle for himself—exploring the spectrum of gender expression. Watercolour illustrations by Agathe Bray-Bourret keep the tone humorous. #Canadian #LGBTQ #kidlit

The illustrations are whimsical, but the situation is serious: a little boy who can‘t explain why he feels so sad.

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟5 🌟
I believe this book sets a new standard on what books about being yourself entail. Riley comes from a loving family of a sister and a father. Mom is not in the picture, no reason given. Riley‘s sister does everything she can to make Riley stop crying or to come to reason for the tears. Turns out Riley, doesn‘t like Riley. What makes this book so successful is that it does not just focus on Riley. ⬇

LibrarianRyan Sister gets teased in school for her round belly, and after discovering what it feels like to not like herself she understands more what Riley is going through. And with understanding from their father they start to like and make themselves happy being who they are, but understanding there will still be down days, or others who don‘t understand. This book was fantastic. It was a great lesson and a great story. The illustrations work really 3y
LibrarianRyan well and set a tone of hope, love, and understanding.
