Kids need the tools to understand gender nonconforming peers. With books like this, minds open, perspectives blossom and everyone has more choices. Sophie and Jacob amp rsquo s teacher is paying attention and sees an opportunity to create a more inclusive classroom and school where everyone amp rsquo s differences are celebrated. A progressive book that is forward thinking and acting to solve problems with new solutions. - Jesica Sweedler DeHart, Librarian and InfluencerMore details
