Tiny is a child. That is all that matters. It does not matter if Tiny is a boy or a girl. Tiny likes to play dress up, and football, an do art. Boy or girl does not matter, only that Tiny is true to who they are. To me, the purpose of this book is to look beyond gender roles, and ask yourself (or your kids) if that really matters. And if it matters, why does it matter. An interesting book.
