Title: Childrens books on Transgender issues
Post by: BrandyHanley on December 23, 2017, 10:33:02 PM
This might have been asked here before I am sure. I just wanted to know if anyone knew of any good children's books on parents that are in transition, or transgender.  I bought one book already but it wasn't all that great. It was also FtM, and I am MtF,. He is 9 years old so I am looking for something for his age group.
