What They're Saying
Critics Review
“An important book that can serve as a conversation starter with gender-expansive children and as a tool for cis children to build empathy.” –Booklist, starred review
“Lyons, a 12-year-old trans boy, shares his story in clear, relatable language, sensitively assisted by Verdi and capably supported by Simpson’s simple, emotive illustrations: throughout, the protagonist’s green eyes express frustration, anxiety, and, finally, happiness.” –Publishers Weekly
“A lot of work went into this book and it shows.” –Betsy Bird, “2020 Books with a Message”
