While his identical twinsister wore princess dresses and danced ballet in a tutu, Grayson preferred hisSpider-Man costume or sweats. He was uncomfortable in anything considered“girly.” People called him a tomboy, but he knew that wasn’t right either. Heexplained to his mother, “I know I’m supposed to be your daughter, but I feelmore like your son. I guess I’m your… Dot-son.”Graysonis now twelve years old.

"Transgender 12-year-old White details his challenges navigating his transition in this affirming autobiographical debut… Concise and youthful prose accompanied by full-page illustrations by Sisson (Persuading Miss Doover), rendered in soft washes of color, portray each triumph, making for a compassionate exploration of one trans child’s experience and the invaluable impact that support has had on his life.” —Publishers Weekly“Relatable and understandable… As an adult who is still learning about sexuality, gender, and more in the (LGBTQ+) community, this was a great way to experience “the other side” of the story. It can be for a younger child about ages eight and up, to read solo so they can also understand a sibling’s, family, friend or even their own journey maybe a little better. Or to be read to almost any age just as a way to open the conversation.” —Jeannette Sessions, bookseller
