Would this book be helpful for a child whose parent is male-to-female transgender, even though it is from the perspective of a child?

(And check out Sophie’s other works, too. Flamingo Rampant is currently carrying this book as “book of the month.” I liked the book, “The Last Place You Look,” at Flamingo Rampant as well, with diverse family representation. 10,000 Beads was another excellent Flamingo Rampant book & depicts gender variance in a Lakota community. Princess of Great Daring is a Flamingo Rampant book with a mtf trans youth character.) A House for Everyone is a good one, as well as Who Are You?: The Kid’s guide to Gender Identity. Introducing Teddy. Red, A Crayon’s Story. The Prince & The Dressmaker, maybe. Phoenix Goes to School looks promising. I’d Know You Anywhere, My Love, by Nancy Tillman (reinforces that no matter outward changes, inside someone is the same person, and the bond of love between parent & child stays the same.) I Like Myself by Karen Beaumont can be used to indirectly bolster that same idea (it’s what’s on the inside that matters...also touches on building resilience to teasing which is good for a kid in that situation.) The Gender Wheel by Maya Christina Gonzalez at reflectionpress.com, and her “All Genders are Perfectly Natural” poster is great. Just wanted to share resources I’ve come across. (less)
