Jack (Not Jackie) by Holly Hatam, Erica Silverman
4.0
Would rate 3.5
Always on the look out for books that allow students to see themselves so was very excited for Jack (Not Jackie). This is the first book I have encountered that is trans masculine.
An older sibling who was so excited to be a big sister to her new sibling learns to accept along with her parents that Jack does not identify as female but male.
What I like about the book is the simple language to help younger students with gender identity. With that being said there are gender stereotypes such as Jack liking trucks and not wanting long hair. Bought for the library as stated before the first book I have come across that is trans masculine.
