人的性別可概分生理性別（sex）和社會性別（gender），當個體的心理性別和社會化的性別特質產生衝突，對國小學童的自我概念將會產生影響，甚至阻礙自我認同。因此身為教育第一線的教師，應採取開放心態，讓學生在真正平等、尊重中長大。學齡兒童透過閱讀大量文字與圖像做為參與世界的方式，優秀的繪本運用圖文特性，可共舞出意義豐富的智識精華。教育現場的教師運用以性別議題為主的兒童文學作品進行探討，引導學生重新思考多元性別特質，據此豐富性別平權內涵並在文學中涵養美感更顯重要，因此兒童需要具有性別平等意識的文學作品。繪本「粉紅色影子的男孩」就是一本值得推薦的好繪本。作者史考特．史都華（Scott Stuart），透過圖文共構採象徵、對比的創作手法，以及語言流動中的隱藏與揭露，層層堆疊出多面向的自我成長之旅：從隱藏真實的影子以符合社會期待的實體，到與重要他人的互動，突破性別刻板框架的束縛，愛自己原本的樣子，傾聽內在的聲音，自信做自己。「粉紅色影子的男孩」透過文學創作技法，帶領讀者走了一趟成長之旅。教學者可從影子這個象徵物著手，找出繪本中的對比事物，如：粉紅色與藍色、影子與實體、褲子與裙子等背後所隱含的性別刻板印象，再從父與子互動的語言中，找出主角在揭露與隱藏拉扯中的情緒變化，探討對於性別刻板印象的覺察－衝突與思考－支持，與此行動對主角所帶來的改變。從中引導小讀者覺知身體意象和性別框架對身心的影響，並學會尊重性別多樣性，共同營造性別友善環境。

Human gender can be roughly divided into biological sex and social gender. When there is a conflict between an individual's psychological gender and socialized gender traits, it will have an impact on primary school children's self-concept, and it even hinders self-identity. Therefore, as teachers on the front line of education, we should adopt an open mind to let students grow up in true equality and respect. School-age children engage with the world by reading large amounts of text and images. Excellent picture books use the characteristics of graphics and text to create meaningful intellectual essence. Teachers at the education site use children's literature focusing on gender issues to conduct discussions, guiding students to rethink diverse gender identities. Based on this, it is more important to enrich the connotation of gender equality and cultivate beauty in literature. Children therefore need gender-equality-aware literature. The picture book "My Shadow is Pink" is a good picture book worth recommending. The author, Scott Stuart, uses the creative techniques of symbolism and contrast through pictures and texts, as well as the concealment and revelation in the flow of language, to lay out a multi-faceted journey of self-growth. That is, people who hide the true shadow to conform to social expectations, later they interact with important others, and then they break through the constraints of gender stereotypes, loving themselves as they are, listening to their inner voice, and being confident in being themselves. "My Shadow is Pink" uses literary creation techniques to take readers on a journey of growth. Teachers can start from the symbol of shadow to find out the gender stereotypes behind contrasting things in picture books, such as pink and blue, shadow and entity, pants and skirts, etc. Then, from the language of interaction between father and son, we find out the emotional changes of the protagonist in the process of revealing and hiding, and explore the awareness, conflict and thinking , and support of the gender stereotypes, and the changes brought about by this action on the protagonist. It guides young readers to become aware of the impact of body image and gender framework on the body and mind, learn to respect gender diversity, and jointly create a gender-friendly environment.
