About This Book
Reach for this book when a child in your life is exploring their gender identity or when a sibling is struggling to adjust to a brother or sister's transition. It provides a gentle, accessible entry point for families navigating the shift from seeing a child as a girl to recognizing them as a boy. The story is told through the eyes of an older sister, Susan, who initially misses the 'Jackie' she used to know but eventually learns to celebrate the 'Jack' her brother truly is. This book is a wonderful tool for normalizing the feelings of confusion or loss that can accompany change, while ultimately grounding the experience in unconditional family love. It is perfectly pitched for children ages 4 to 8, offering a secular and realistic portrayal of a modern family's journey toward acceptance and understanding.
