About name and gender
Foad the fly, Kodjo the cat and Katinka the cow are some of the animals we get to meet in the book. Taken together, they show a wide variety of names and expressions that broaden norms. Often large and strong animals are referred to as male, while small animals are female. That stereotype is challenged in the book. Each animal also has a detail that broadens the picture of how we can dress and look, regardless of gender. Foad wears flowery boots, and Gabriel the pig wears a tiara.
