My Dad Thinks I'm a Boy?!: A Trans Positive Children's Book

A comic style children's book that tells the story of Stephie, a 7-year-old transgender girl, whose Dad is still struggling to recognize and accept her gender. It portrays a powerful message for children aged 6-9, that no one else other than ourselves gets to decide who we are.

''My Dad thinks I''m a boy named Stephen who likes wrestling and fishing. But that''s what my Dad likes.''

Stephie is 7 years old. She likes bugs, books and spaghetti. Also, she''s a girl... which should be pretty easy to understand, right? Well, not for her Dad! He''s been mistaking her for a boy since she was born and struggles to see her for who she is.

This powerful and uplifting book for children aged 6 - 9 and their families humorously portrays a situation that is often too common, where a trans child is forced to negotiate between their true self and their parents'' love.

With amusing illustrations, and a useful guide for adults, it''s the perfect book to help show children that no one else than ourselves gets to decide who we are.
