Official synopsis Publisher
A child shares feelings about their identity with their dad in this powerful journey of self-discovery. While creating their annual ice rink together one winter, a child starts a conversation with their father about something important. “Do you ever feel mixed up about who you are?” But the father misunderstands. So, the child tries again later. “Do you ever feel different than the way you look?” The father still doesn’t get it but, this time, asks to hear more. “I look like a boy, but sometimes I feel more like a girl.” At last, it’s been said. And, at last, the child, who asks to be called Gray, begins to feel like themselves. Young readers may see their own uncertainties reflected in this sensitive portrayal of a child sharing their identity and finding acceptance.
