How to Grow Your own Gender

How to Grow Your Own Gender is a little book of affirmations for when you are exploring your gender. It references plants and gardening as metaphors for self care, and personal growth.
This book can go beyond gender, and be a thoughtful set of reminders for simply remembering to take it easy, take your time, and to take care of yourself.
Samuel originally created the content for this comic in 2016, in an Artist Book class, while studying in Montréal. The format has been updated from a hand bound pocket book, to a digitally printed & perfect bound A5 book.
