| Hi John, Today I want to share the story of a trans kid called Kai. Trans kids deserve to see themselves celebrated, included, and loved in art, media, and the world around them. They’re living in a world that can be hostile to them, with laws and harmful messaging that seeks to demonize their existence. Art is a powerful tool for challenging those destructive ideas by creating something beautiful in response. This cartoon of Jesus holding a transgender sheep, was originally a commission for Kai. She's a trans kid who lives in Texas. She's very vocal and active for LGBTQIA+ rights, especially trans rights. I met Kai months ago when I was contacted about illustrating a book she's writing. Her mom, Kimberly, asked if I could draw one of my trans sheep cartoons for Kai. I’m inspired by Kai and her efforts to make the world a more inclusive place. |

| Here’s a video Kai’s mom, Kimberly, shared with me after giving Kai her cartoon. It made my day to see how much joy it brought her! |

|
|
| My hope is that this cartoon will empower Kai as she grows into her authentic self. People shouldn't be terrified for their lives just for being who they are. Love must win! #TransRightsAreHumanRights |
