Book Synopsis



In this heartwarming picture book, a big sister realizes that her little sister, Jackie, doesn't like dresses or fairies-she likes ties and bugs! Will she and her family be able to accept that Jackie identifies more as "Jack"?

Susan thinks her little sister Jackie has the best giggle! She can't wait for Jackie to get older so they can do all sorts of things like play forest fairies and be explorers together. But as Jackie grows, she doesn't want to play those games. She wants to play with mud and be a super bug! Jackie also doesn't like dresses or her long hair, and she would rather be called Jack.

Readers will love this sweet story about change and acceptance. This book is published in partnership with GLAAD to accelerate LGBTQ inclusivity and acceptance.



Review Quotes




[P]rovides a necessary message of acceptance and representation for transgender boys...-- "Kirkus Reviews"

This is arguably the only male transgender story for younger children and important accordingly. Silverman handles her sensitive material extremely well, with a light, non-didactic touch. The spirit of the story is nicely augmented by Hatam's sprightly cartoon illustrations. A helpful appended author's note offers context for the story, which belongs in every library.-- "Booklist, STARRED REVIEW"

My kids weren't confused by this book at all. I think the adults are the ones that get confused. Great book to enhance inclusion and acceptance conversations.

Confusing and stereotypical

This book is incredibly confusing for kids not to mention how stereotypical it is. Just because a girl doesn’t want to play dress up or does enjoy playing in the mud does NOT mean she is a boy. Give me a break. If I could leave zero stars, I would.

Great book to have in elementary classrooms to support inclusion. Children everywhere no matter their age should feel they belong. Therefore this book IS age appropriate. These books don’t change who kids are, but they help them feel love for themselves and others.
