About this listen

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.’

Critic reviews

An uplifting, hopeful, empowering memoir that celebrates self-discovery and self-love (Alice Oseman, bestselling author of Heartstopper)
An accessible, affirming story that models how anyone—cis or trans—can take steps toward self-knowledge and gender freedom. (Kirkus)
Brimming with compassion, warmth and gentle humour, Homebody swept me up like a hug with a long-lost friend. Exploring their own journey of self-discovery, Theo’s honest, conversational storytelling and masterful command of visual narrative combine to create a stunning memoir full of hope and non-binary joy. This book will mean so much to many readers, and I cannot wait to see whatever Theo works on next. (Harry Woodgate, the multi-award-winning author and illustrator of Grandad's Camper, Timid, Little Glow and Grandad's Pride.)
For anyone who is trying to find their authentic self when they feel like the world is trying to put them into a box (Charlotte Eyre)
A warm, affirming, gentle, honest story of a nonbinary gender journey. (Maia Kobabe, author of Gender Queer)
This deeply relatable exploration of finding oneself and of giving oneself grace when the journey takes longer than expected is ideal for fans of Maia Kobabe’s Gender Queer.
A gorgeous memoir of transition and self love, beautifully illustrated and sensitively written. A journey I deeply related to -- I’m thankful to be in a world where Homebody exists. (Lizzie Huxley-Jones, author of Vivi Conway and the Sword of Legend)
Uplifting and resonant (Fiona Noble)
A gorgeously tender and warm story of bold explorations and the search for contentment and home. What a joy! Beautifully illustrated; a must have ... (Juno Roche, author of Trans Power)
Enchanting and life affirming. I devoured in one joyful gulp . . . (Harry Nicholas, author of A Trans Man Walks into a Gay Bar)
Homebody is utterly beautiful, both in storytelling and artwork. It’s moving, funny, sweet, and truly uplifting. Homebody is a story that feels like a warm hug from a good friend. (Beth Reekles, bestselling author of The Kissing Booth)
Charming, thoughtful and beautiful (Louie Stowell, bestselling author of Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Being Good)
Homebody made me want to be creative - the highest praise I can think of. Beautifully illustrated and heartfelt in story. An ode to trans joy. (L. D. Lapinski author of Jamie)
This is a graphic novel memoir about the author’s journey with their gender, and I thought it was incredible! The illustrations were gorgeous, the writing was amazing and sometimes like poetry, and it just really tugged on my heartstrings in the best way.
