This is a great book about a transgender girl in the fourth grade. I enjoyed reading Melissa's thoughts as she navigates coming out to her best friend and family. The author, Alex Gino is able to make difficult topics like gender dysphoria, micro-aggressions, bullying, and bathrooms easily understood. Melissa's best friend Kelly not only encourages her but creates space for her to be herself and succeed in the things she loves. Melissa's triumphs make this an uplifting book that celebrates diversity and friendship. A gem of a story!
