In this joyful and impactful picture book, a transgender boy prepares for the first day of school and introduces himself to his family and friends for the first time.
Calvin has always been a boy, even if the world sees him as a girl. He knows who he is in his heart and in his mind but he hasn't yet told his family. Finally, he can wait no longer: "I'm not a girl," he tells his family. "I'm a boy-a boy in my heart and in my brain." Quick to support him, his loving family takes Calvin shopping for the swim trunks he's always wanted and back-to-school clothes and a new haircut that helps him look and feel like the boy he's always known himself to be. As the first day of school approaches, he's nervous and the "what-ifs" gather up inside him. But as his friends and teachers rally around him and he tells them his name, all his "what-ifs" begin to melt away.
Inspired by the authors' own transgender child and accompanied by warm and triumphant illustrations, this authentic and personal text promotes kindness and empathy, offering a poignant and inclusive back-to-school message: all should feel safe, respected, and welcomed.

Zusammenfassung
WON AT AUCTION: As all publishers seek to increase the representation on their lists, truly special stories like Calvin sell swiftly. We were ecstatic to win this special text in a competitive auction. Calvin is a tenderly told, accessible story with an important message for all readers. There can't be enough stories like Calvin and we're fortunate to have the Fords tell it in eloquent fashion.
PERSONAL CONNECTION: This story is based in part on the Ford's own transgender child Ellie and how she expressed her gender "consistently, insistently, and persistently," telling her parents at the age of four that she was a girl in her heart and in her brain. This story is deeply personal to the Fords and they've been incredibly careful and intentional in crafting it in hopes it will help bring awareness and teach kids and adults alike how to welcome all people, including transgender kids, with kindness and acceptance.
VOCAL TRANSGENDER ADVOCATES: The Fords are outspoken advocates for trans youth and have been featured widely in national media, playing a central role in Katie Couric's 2017 documentary film Gender Revolution with National Geographic and appearing in outlets such as the New York Times, the Washington Post, ABC News, CNN, and Newsweek. They have many contacts in the LGBTQ community and beyond who are eager to support their family and this book.
CELEBRATES COURAGE AND EMPATHY: This story will empower children to speak up for themselves and who they know themselves to be and also demonstrates that just the simple act of respecting someone's identity can have a profound impact on their happiness and sense of self.
AN INCREDIBLE TEACHING TOOL: This picture book is perfect for back-to-school lesson plans on how to be welcoming by showing kindness and acceptance to your classmates and community.
ENDEARING, LOVEABLE NARRATOR: Calvin's voice is so heartfelt and honest, readers can't help but root for him as he courageously presents his true self to the world.
STUNNING, INCLUSIVE ILLUSTRATIONS: Kayla's warm and effusive illustrations augment the heartfelt and inclusive messaging of the book as she effortlessly depicts a wide range of skin tones, body shapes, hair texture, cultures, and ability.
