Max is a transgender kid learning how to navigate school, friends, and gender identity! I liked that Max learns things about what it means to be a girl or a boy through his own understandings of gender and he learns along with the reader.

I've read Kyle Lukoff's middle grade books and loved them to pieces. I'm happy to say I adored this picture book as well. I love how it demonstrates that there's no one way to be any gender and that being a certain gender doesn't have anything to do with what a person does or finds interesting.

I wish I had this book when I was a younger kid. I know it will do wonders for younger trans kids <3

This book does a pretty good job! For children who already have a sense of gender expectations, this book explains the concept of being transgender well.

Excellent way to introduce the concepts around being transgender. Highly recommended for all schools and libraries. For grades K & up.
