My Princess Boy

Thank you for writing this book. It means so much to me. Being different is always hard, and I think we all wish we could have a mother like you.

Great job!

First of all, let's not bring religion and personal prejudice into these reviews; this book is about TOLERANCE, and ACCEPTING your children for who they are, even if they may not conform to society's ideas. Not all boys play sports, and not all girls like pink; we MUST accept our children for who they are and not make them feel like outcasts before they are even thrust out into the world. This is a great book that deserves much praise!

My daughter loves to wear pants and tennis shoes, run around with toy trucks and play in the dirt. 100 years ago this would have been shocking and un-allowable. Nowadays it's not just normal, it is expected female child behavior. Why is it ok for little girls to cross over and play with boy stuff, but not vice-versa? It's not God, its modern-day convention and American machismo that dictates this. Maybe it would be best for our young children if we grown-ups stopped passing judgement on their ideas of self-expression and fun play, and let them be themselves. I think history has proven that repression and guilt does nothing positive for a child's developing pysche. This book is for meant for children who may have "why" questions about gender-fixed games, toys and activities. If an adult has questions about this issue, I suggest they look in the adult book section.
