Description

An unmissable graphic memoir perfect for fans of the global hit Heartstopper and Juno Dawson's What's the T?

Hello! I’m Theo. I like cats, Dungeons & Dragons . . . and I’m trans and non-binary.

Ever since I was young, I’ve been on a journey to explore who I am. To discover the things that make me . . . me.

Sometimes it can feel like the world is trying to fit you into a box, to label you one way or another, but there is nothing more wonderful than finding your true authentic self, whoever you are. Whether you are transgender or cisgender, we are all searching for ways to make our houses feel like homes . . .

In Homebody, Theo tells the heartwarming story of discovering how to live life on their own terms.

This graphic novel audio has been specially adapted with sound design and music to bring the graphics to life. The audiobook is performed by Roly Botha, featuring Annabel Baldwin and George Naylor, and features an exclusive Q&A between Roly and Theo.

‘The most radical act of self love is living authentically in a world that takes every opportunity to squeeze you into a box of someone else’s design.’

I've read so many books about being non binary. I think I've even cried over all of them. This one hit a different type of affirmation for me. My name and nickname.

The audiobook was beautifully produced. I could picture Theo walking in nature as they told their story, changing from one scene to another. Hearing school chatter in the background and even some snide remarks students made really put me in Theos awkward shoes.

Such a beautiful affirmative book about self love as a non-binary person.

Now to go out and buy the physical book to come back to on days I need a little comfort.


'We are all just trying to find a place to call our own. We are all deserving of comfort and safety. A place to call home'

You are enough.

Rating: Obsessed = 5 stars.

I was a bit curious to see how a graphic novel would translate to an audiobook, but it was AMAZING
I loved the little background noises and music a lot and the narration was done perfectly.

I absolutely adore this story and the message of hope it gives, an absolute must read.
