Euphoria Kids is a 2020 young adult fantasy novel by Alison Evans. It tells the coming of age story of three transgender young people named Iris, Babs and "the boy". The story contains elements of magical realism, including the presence of witches, dryads and faeries, and that Iris "grew from a seed in the ground" while Babs is "made of fire".[1]
The title refers to the concept of gender euphoria.[2] Evans states in the novel's foreword:
I want people to learn about gender euphoria. I want them to learn about it before gender dysphoria. I want the young trans kids that will read this book to be proud of who they are, and to imagine wonderful, magic lives for themselves.[3]
In 2024, the novel was reissued in an expanded second edition which added classroom discussion points.[1]
