Jacob, the beloved character who made national headlines by wearing a dress to school, is back in an encouraging story about gender expression.
When Jacob goes to the boys’ bathroom, he is chased out because the boys think he looks like a girl because of the way he is dressed. His classmate, Sophie, has a similar experience when she tries to go to the girls’ bathroom. When their teacher finds out what happened, Jacob and Sophie, with the support of administration, lead change at their school as everyone discovers the many forms of gender expression and how to treat each other with respect.
“Everyone can pee in peace in this follow-up to Jacob’s New Dress…Inviting readers into Jacob’s diversely depicted class of students…emphasizes inclusion….a continuation of the conversation about gender expression started in the first book.” — Kirkus Reviews
“So many, many people need to read this book. Kids, adults, politicians, administrators—there is not one person in this world that doesn’t need to digest and ponder the lessons of this sweet, simple, and very necessary (unfortunately) book.” — Kiss The Book
