Taylor Meets The Trick is a heartwarming and thought-provoking children’s book that helps kids (ages 4-8) recognise and challenge the invisible rules of gender stereotypes. Written for parents who want to raise confident, kind, and open-minded children, this story introduces young readers to The Trick—a sneaky force that makes people believe boys and girls should follow different rules.
Taylor is excited and nervous for their first day of school. With Daddy’s reassuring words, they bravely step into a world full of new friends and adventures. But when their teacher, Miss Braveheart, assumes Taylor is a girl because of their long, curly hair, Taylor feels something strange—a tangle of “squiggles” in their tummy. Daddy, however, sees exactly what’s happening. He explains that these squiggles appear when The Trick is at work, shaping how people think about boys and girls without them even realising it.
Through an engaging and accessible story, Taylor Meets The Trick empowers children to pause, reflect, and ask questions about the gendered expectations they encounter every day. With Daddy’s guidance, Taylor learns that The Trick can be undone—by noticing it, questioning it, and choosing to see the world differently. As Taylor puts these lessons into action—helping a friend challenge the idea that "girls can't play football"—they experience the power of standing up to unfair rules and encouraging others to do the same.
This beautifully illustrated book helps parents start meaningful conversations with their children about equality, fairness, and self-expression. By making these big ideas accessible to young minds, Taylor Meets The Trick encourages kids to trust their instincts, embrace who they are, and support others in doing the same.
At the back of the book, parents and teachers will find a helpful resources section filled with guided questions and discussion prompts to extend learning beyond the story. These tools provide practical ways to help children recognise The Trick in their daily lives and build the confidence to challenge unfair rules with kindness and courage.
Perfect for bedtime reading, classroom discussions, or family conversations, this book offers a powerful way to introduce children to the idea that they have the power to shape a fairer, kinder world—one question at a time.
