Customer Reviews

The best book ever about a gender independent child

Tomboy Trouble shows a girl who is very comfortable with not following gender stereotypes, yet doesn't downplay the struggles she experiences because of it. I liked how it showed the mother supporting her daughter, and I liked the main character's refrain when other children would call her a boy - she didn't insist she was a girl, she just insisted she was Georgia. We need more books like this! As the mother of a gender independent boy, I really appreciated having this book to read to my son.
