This was so cute!! Quick, really fun read and so important. I sincerely believe teachers, especially those of elementary and middle school, should read this. Wonderfully written, fantastic and much-needed message, easy five star rating.
Full disclosure: I won an Advanced Reader Copy.
Agreed that this is an important book, but also an overly simple book lacking in plot and movement. However, there are plenty of kids who could benefit from feeling Melissa's joy in being herself and her freedom in her friendship with Kelly
George stopped. It was such a short, little question, but she couldn't make her mouth form the sounds. “Mom, what if I'm a girl?”
— A heartwarming, eye-opening, and quietly sad read about a girl who was born a boy.
