About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child expresses that the gender the world sees does not match who they feel they are inside. It is a vital resource for families navigating the early stages of a child's gender transition or for those who want to foster deep empathy for the transgender experience. The story follows a young boy named Leo who was assigned female at birth but knows he is a boy, capturing the quiet frustration of being misunderstood and the bravery required to speak one's truth. While the book addresses complex themes of identity and social transition, it does so with a gentle, age-appropriate touch suitable for children as young as four. It emphasizes that being yourself is a journey involving the whole family. Parents will find this book helpful for normalizing these feelings and providing a clear, hopeful script for how to support a child through their social transition at school and home.
