A portrait of the artist Louie Läuger, against a dark green background with artwork on a wall. Around their shoulders are cute flower and sparkly illustrations, and they are wearing a colorful print shirt. They have light skin, a shaved head of brown hair, and brown eyes.

About the Illustrator

Louie (they/them) works somewhere in the intersection of illustration, education and feminism. They most enjoy drawing things that make people think, “oh wow, I finally understand that!” when they read and look at it. When Louie isn't illustrating, they're probably doing pottery. You can find them on Instagram @tenderrebellions.

Louie also wrote and illustrated our workbook How to Say No.

Super hilfreich!

Ich hab das Buch bestellt, weil ich zwar oft Erklärungen zu Neopronomen finde, Übungen und Praktisches dazu fehlen aber so gut wie immer. Und grad Übung ist ja beim verwenden zuvor unbekannter Pronomen das wichtigste! Da schließt dieses Buch also eine wichtige Lücke und sieht auch noch Klasse aus dabei!
Danke für dieses tolle Produkt, das nicht nur inhaltlich sondern auch qualitativ gut daherkommt!

Vielen Dank für deine Rezension, Robin! Wir freuen uns sehr, dass du die Übungen so hilfreich fandest. ✨
