New Children's Book About a Transgender Child

[Troy]

 

The sponsor for this week's newsletter promoted a new book, Calvin, which tells the story of a transgender boy preparing for his first day of school.

 

"Inspired by the authors’ own transgender child and accompanied by warm and triumphant illustrations, this authentic and personal text promotes kindness and empathy, offering a poignant and inclusive back-to-school message: all should feel safe, respected, and welcomed."

 

I have to admit I was concerned that some people might not like this book. So far the reaction has not been strong, either positively or negatively.
