I thought it was a nice book and don't see anything wrong with having a child read this like-
I saw so much of my younger self in this ( and also lots of parts i didn't that's ok too! ) it's just nice having more nonbinary stories out there for young trans folks to learn from.

Also warning to readers. There's lots of harry potter mentions but I'm pretty sure this came out before all the transphobia from JKR was public. It sucks, but it is what it is.

This made me feel all of the feels. My only complaint is that it just ends so abruptly.

So this book was good and as a trans boy I really enjoyed it I will say there is some inappropriate things such as sex I don’t think sex is a bad thing but if you want your kids to learn about sex I think this is more of a book to read together and is definitely more made for teens but other wise it’s really good overall. If you’re looking for a book to teach children about sex the “you know sex” book is great

I loved this book, it’s the audio version of a graphic novel and the story was good I just wish it was longer! So cute with full cast!

I opened this book maybe 50 minutes ago and only put it down because I turned the last page. I absolutely adored the journey that reading this took me through and am incredibly happy that this book exists. Maia Kobabe is such a talented storyteller. E made me tear up in recognition at least 4 times even as I quickly tore through the book.  The art was perfect with the tone of the story and really added to my experience. The way E flowed from topic to topic and anecdote to anecdote was very smooth and natural and made me feel like I was listening to em speak rather than just reading. Overall one of my favourite books I've read this year if not a top book in general!

It ended rather abrupltly, that was jarring. It felt very immersive otherwise. It was a very honest account of eir experiences. Some of the scenes were very disturbing in it's graphic depiction of undergoing a trauma on the body. That was difficult to read.
