My Dad Thinks I'm a Boy (ab 4 J.)

Sometimes adults are confused. (Ages 4 and up.)

Ihre Mutter hat Stephie nach ihrem Outing sofort akzeptiert. Doch ihr Vater hält sie für einen Jungen namens Stephen und glaubt, dass er besser weiß als sie, wo ihre Interessen liegen. Dabei zeigt sich, dass er offensichtlich verwirrt, dickköpfig und kindisch ist. Schöne Herangehensweise an das Thema.

Von der Verlagsseite:

'My Dad thinks I'm a boy named Stephen who likes wrestling and fishing. But that's what my Dad likes.'

Stephie is 7 years old. She likes bugs, books and spaghetti. Also, she's a girl... which should be pretty easy to understand, right? Well, not for her Dad! He's been mistaking her for a boy since she was born and struggles to see her for who she is.

This powerful and uplifting book for children aged 6 - 9 and their families humorously portrays a situation that is often too common, where a trans child is forced to negotiate between their true self and their parents' love.

With amusing illustrations, and a useful guide for adults, it's the perfect book to help show children that no one else than ourselves gets to decide who we are.
