He knows who he is in his heart and in his mind but he hasn't yet told his family. Finally, he can wait no longer: \"I'm not a girl,\" he tells his family. \"I'm a boy--a boy in my heart and in my brain.\" Quick to support him, his loving family takes Calvin shopping for the swim trunks he's always wanted and back-to-school clothes and a new haircut that helps him look and feel like the boy he's always known himself to be. As the first day of school approaches, he's nervous and the \"what-ifs\" gather up inside him. But as his friends and teachers rally around him and he tells them his name, all his \"what-ifs\" begin to melt away. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInspired by the authors' own transgender child and accompanied by warm and triumphant illustrations, this authentic and personal text promotes kindness and empathy, offering a poignant and inclusive back-to-school message: all should feel safe, respected, and welcomed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jr. Ford, Vanessa Ford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0593108671\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593108673\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e G.P.
