redgoldsparks:The Nonbinary Bunny by Maia Kobabe(with deep respect for Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd)Once there was a little bunny who realized e was nonbinary. So e said to eir mother, “I am not a boy bunny or a girl bunny.“ “I love you, but I don’t understand,” sair eir mother“Male and female bleed into each other like day and night,” said the little bunny. “There is space between them for sunrise and sunsets.“ "I’ve always thought of male and female like land and water,” said eir mother. “Separate.“ "If they were, then I would be a frog, who lives half in and half out of both,” said the little bunny. "I’ve always seen female and male as light and shade,“ said eir mother. "Divided.” "If they were, then I would be a cat, who lies half in and out of the sun,“ said the little bunny."I’ve always believed that male and female were like two trees,” said eir mother. “Distinct.” "Then I would be a bird who flies back and forth between both,“ said the little bunny."Whether you are a sunrise, or a frog, or a cat, or a bird, I am still your mother. I will support you wherever you go,” said the mother bunny. “I love you.” "I love you too,“ said the little bunny. This story is a loving remake of "The Runaway Bunny” (1942) written by Margaret Wise Brown and illustrated by Clement Hurd.
