Description

Jacob, the beloved character who made national headlines by wearing a dress to school, is back in an encouraging story about gender expression.

When Jacob goes to the boys' bathroom, he is chased out because the boys think he looks like a girl because of the way he is dressed. His classmate, Sophie, has a similar experience when she tries to go to the girls' bathroom. When their teacher finds out what happened, Jacob and Sophie, with the support of administration, lead change at their school as everyone discovers the many forms of gender expression and how to treat each other with respect.

Reviews

Like the first book about Jacob, the message is about acceptance. Simple lyrical writing introduces the setting and the characters from the opening lines: 'The carpet was warm. The bunnies were funny. Jacob and Sophie loved library time.' And the message is vital, especially for this young age group. The Hoffman's book comes from their hearts.-- "Oregon Coast Youth Book Preview Center"
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"
