Read the book that started it all--a new edition of one of the most banned books of the decade. Jacob's New Dress is a heartwarming story that speaks to the unique challenges faced by boys who don't identify with traditional gender roles.
Jacob loves playing dress-up, when he can be anything he wants to be. Some kids at school say he can't wear girl clothes, but Jacob wants to wear a dress to school. Can he convince his parents to let him wear what he wants?
Studies show that support of family, peers, and community makes a huge difference in the mental health and well-being of gender nonconforming kids. Now published by the American Psychological Association with updated back matter, cover art, and foreword, this story supports kids who are gender nonconforming and acts as a model for others learning to accept a child's gender expression and identity.
Jacob's New Dress encourages kids and their grown-ups to embrace a culture of kindness and acceptance and trust what kids are saying about themselves. Look for Jacob and his friends in the Jacob Stories books: Jacob's Missing Book, Jacob's School Play, and Jacob's Room to Choose.
