About the Author
Reviews
So many, many people need to read this book. Kids adults, politicians, administrators--there is not one person in this world that doesn't need to digest and ponder the less of this sweet, simple, and very necessary (unfortunately) book.-- "Kiss the Book"
The students set out to create new, inclusive bathroom signs: 'I have to pee, so let me be!' one reads. Ms. Reeves just might be the real star in the story, as she models how limiting traditional views of gender can be.-- "Publishers Weekly"
Their teacher's lesson shows that there are more than two ways to dress--not all boys wear short hair, and not all girls wear long hair or dresses. Even their own classroom represents a spectrum of expressions.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
