“Emphasizing the importance of trust, respect, justice, and joy—as well as open communication—it’s a thoughtful and affirming exploration of relationships, gender identity, and growing sexual awareness.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review

“Yes, it’s written for 7-to-10-year-olds. But I’d like to see it on the required reading list for high school freshmen, college resident advisors, military personnel, early-childhood educators, coaches, clergy, police officers, pediatricians and parents. Did I miss anyone? … the story begins not with body parts but with values: Respect. Trust. Joy. Justice. ‘Justice is like fairness, only bigger,’ Silverberg explains. ‘Justice means that every person and every body matters.’ ”Could we have that etched over every middle-school entry door, please? And while the chisel’s still warm, put it on the nation’s courtrooms, too.”–Anndee Hochman, Broad Street Review
