When Kayla Was Kyle by Amy Fabrikant

    • Plot Summary: Kyle doesn't understand why the other kids at school call him names. He looks like other boys, but doesn't feel like them. Can Kyle find the words to share his feelings about his gender - and can his parents help him to transition into the girl he was born to be? When Kayla Was Kyle is a picture book children of all ages will want to read because it addresses the increasingly emerging ideas around gender diversity.

    • This is a story about a trans girl facing a lot of rejection and teasing. Falls a little bit into the gender essentialism trap, assuming that there are innate, universal aspects to gender (you can be a boy and not like baseball, I promise).
