librarybonanza 's review for:
Jack
by Holly Hatam, Erica Silverman
Age: Kindergarten-2nd grade
Family: Big Sister, younger brother
LGBTQ: Transgender boy
We absolutely NEED MORE TRANSGENDER STORIES, as this is just one in a myriad of experiences. From the point of view of the sister, she observes her misidentified sister enjoying experiences like getting dirty, playing superheroes, and wearing clothes normally found in the boy section. When Jack finally asks his sister to call him by his chosen name, she processes this change through alone time and observing the loving acceptance of her mom and dad.
A well written story about one sister's experience as her brother transitions from female to male. With such a small amount of space to cover a person's life-changing transition, Silverman did a remarkable job while keeping the text accessible to her audience. Still, this is only one experience and publishers should continue to support more stories representing the gender spectrum.
