Bookroo's summary
Hannah is misunderstood by everyone around him—his parents, friends, and teachers all see him as a girl. But Hannah knows he's a boy. With a birthday wish, a new word, and newfound courage, he sets out to show the world his true self. Will he find the acceptance he seeks, or will he continue to be seen as someone he's not? This heartfelt journey explores identity, courage, and the power of being true to oneself.
From the publisher
Based on a true transgender identity journey, the picture book I’m Not a Girl is an empowering story from writers Maddox Lyons and Jessica Verdi about a boy who is determined to be himself, illustrated by Dana Simpson.
Nobody seems to understand that Hannah is not a girl.
His parents ask why he won’t wear the cute outfits they pick out. His friend thinks he must be a tomboy. His teacher insists he should be proud to be a girl.
But a birthday wish, a new word, and a stroke of courage might be just what Hannah needs to finally show the world who he really is.
