Play Like a Girl
by Misty Wilson
Misty just wants to play football. In this enjoyable graphic novel, the author recounts her 7th grade experiences as a girl on the middle school team, her struggles when her best friend becomes friends with a snarky queen bee, new friends, and a crush on one of her fellow players.
This is a book which seems relevant in a lot of ways. Misty isn't a gender conforming girl, but she's comfortable being a girl in relaxed clothes who loves sports, She has a crush on Ben, who is one of the nicer members of the team, and wants to be accepted. She is a relatable protagonist, and this would be a good entry to discuss the problems gender diverse kids face in sports and in being accepted.
I would recommend this book for inclusion in middle school or older elementary libraries and classroom collections.
