"Hi Sam: Sensitizing Youth Through Play" is an incredible tool to address gender issues with children and help create an open and safe school environment for gender creative kids. In addition to being dynamic and original, the pedagogical activities of this project promote the development of children's thinking skills that will make them active agents in the fight against discrimination, stigmatization and transphobia.

This guide offers not only a detailed sequence of each activity, but also a gender lexicon for professionals as well as an overview of the scientific literature and legal aspects of gender identity and children's rights. Frequently asked questions about gender are also explained, with appropriate answers for professionals to make sure they are not perpetuating myths. This guide also offers guidance for professionals on helpful attitudes to adopt when children make disclosures about themselves. To conclude, a list of resources and literary tools on sexual and gender diversity is presented, which is a great strength of the guide. 

This guide is not only relevant for the professionals facilitating the educational tool, but also for anyone in the general population who wants to educate themselves on gender issues.
