A Gherkin’s a Gherkin, and a Dill is a Dill, but that’s not how Dilbert Dill feels.

In the land of Pickleton, a Gherkin is a Gherkin, and a Dill is a Dill, and that’s how it’s always been. But Dilbert feels differently – he doesn’t feel like a Dill! He’d prefer to learn magic tricks than lift bricks. But when he shares his feelings with the other pickles, they all brush him off.

Will Dilbert be able to show the pickles his true self? A beautiful story about acceptance and identity that features expressive, joyous artwork.

• A story about acceptance and finding yourself.
• This fun story about pickles is an easy-to-understand way of explaining gender identity to young children.
• Delightfully expressive artwork that brings joy and humour to this wonderful story.
