This book gives me hope."- Jessica Karsten, Violet's Mom"It's a good book. It's about friendship and differences. A girl can be a boy, and a boy can be a girl."- Lucas, age 8, 2nd grade, son of Kent Love-Ramirez"It's a story that will reveal new themes - individuality, stereotypes, identity - to prompt new conversations as young readers' awareness of the world matures over time."- Kent Love-Ramirez, Father of Lucas"Nice to see a story that normalizes a transgender child's journey, looking at how close friendship is tested (just like any friendship between two children) during the transition."- Audra Baleisis
