Praise for Lori Duron's Raising My Rainbow <br> <br> A powerful book at the right time. <br>--Andy Cohen, author of Most Talkative: Stories from the Front Lines of Pop Culture <br> <br> It takes a village to raise a child, and it takes a gender creative parent to create a gender creative child. Lori Duron is just one of those parents, and Raising My Rainbow is a must-read for the entire village. Beautifully written, humorous, and deeply open and self-reflective, this book, the first of its kind, gives us a window into a mother's joys, pain, and courage raising a child who goes against the binary gender grain of our society. This is not only an outstanding book, it is a big step forward in making it a better world for all of us.<br>--Diane Ehrensaft, Author of Gender Born, Gender Made <br> <br> I fell in love with this. Lori Duron has written a very important book, and as an author she is extremely generous in sharing the story of her family and in particular her own journey which made her realize that her job regarding her son is to 'not change him but to love him'. Duron and her husband and oldest son beautifully rise to every challenge C.J.'s gender creativity presents to them. As a reader, I felt privileged to witness their journey. <br>--Leslea Newman, author The Boy Who Cried Fabulous, Heather Has Two Mommies, and October Mourning <br> <br> Laugh-out-loud funny, tug-at-the-heartstrings moving, and thoroughly thought provoking, Raising My Rainbow is a must-read for anyone who has ever worried that their child--or a child that they know--might be perceived as 'different from' or 'other than.' <br>--Jody M. Huckaby, Executive Director, PFLAG National<br>
