Such a cute book about a very important topic! ( )

Susan loves her baby sister, Jackie, but as Jackie grows older and behaves more and more like a boy, Susan must adjust to having a brother, Jack, instead.

Cute artwork and story about a young trans boy from his sister's perspective. ( )

Jack (not Jackie) is a light hearted and enjoyable story of two siblings who learn how to love each other just the way they are. Silverman takes an interesting approach, as the story is told from the sister, Susan's, point of view. Through descriptive language aided by colorful and truthful illustrations, Susan comes to realize that her little sister wants to be her little brother. Susan's point of view is honest and shows the real confusion a sibling may go through during a transition like this. I thoroughly enjoyed the love, honesty, and acceptance in this story. ( )
