A moving, revealing, and humorous book about what it's like to grow up without knowing if you're a) a girl, b) a boy, c) something in between, or d) all of the above.
During his childhood, Jacob Tobia was not the wrong gender, life simply offered too much. Barbies? Yes. Get dirty in the mud? Please. Princess dresses? Of course! Jacob wanted everything and had no problem with anything. But because he was a female boy, he was labeled a "sissy" and then things got complicated.
It took years for Jacob to discover that being a "sissy" is not something to be ashamed of. It is a source of pride. This is a deeply personal story of pain and healing, a powerful reflection on gender and self-acceptance, and a fun guide to being different in the modern world.
