Episode description

In this episode, we discuss Jack (Not Jackie), written by Erica Silverman and illustrated by Holly Hatam. We explore themes of gender performance in relationship to social norms in addition to what it means to have an trans* themed book narrated by a cis character. We also give recommendations for additional books written by queer or trans authors.

We recommended George, by Alex Gino, and I Am Jazz, by Jazz Jennings.
