Call me Gray / by Larsen, Andrew,1960-; Larsen, Bells.; Fontaine, Tallulah.;
"Every winter, as soon as it's cold enough, a child and their father build an ice rink. It's a tradition -- something they do together that never changes. But this year, something is different. Something feels different. "Do you ever feel mixed up about who you are?" the child asks their father while they shovel snow. Their dad says he wanted to be an astronaut, once... but that's not quite what they meant. As the day goes on, the child tries again, asking more questions. Eventually, they tell their dad, "I look like a boy, but sometimes I feel more like a girl." The child shares that their name feels like an itchy sweater, and they want to change it to "Gray." It's a big change, but one they can grow into together. And when Gray's dad finally uses their chosen name, it feels warm and right, just like hot chocolate after the first skate of the season. Even though Gray's understanding of themself and their identity is changing, the traditions they share with their father -- and the love they have for each other -- stay the same. Call Me Gray is about the joy and comfort a child feels when a parent affirms their identity by using their chosen name."--

Kids today are more gender fluent and expansive than ever before. Over 700,000 teenagers in America openly identify as transgender, a number that is rising each year.

Free to Be is an authoritative deep dive by internationally renowned child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr. Jack Turban into the science, medicine, and politics of gender identity. You will be immersed in the lives of three trans and gender diverse youth -- Meredith, Kyle, and Sam -- as they navigate their gender identities, make decisions around gender-affirming medical and psychological care, and confront an overwhelming political and social terrain. By combining the latest scientific research, stories of transgender children, and the intricacies of today's political gender wars, Free to Be gives you the tools to help the kids in your life navigate the complexity of gender identity, while also coming to better understand what the nuances of gender mean to yourself and society at large"--
