And after a 1000 NO’s her original ideal didn’t look anything like the end result! It’s a great book that will encourage kids to refine their ideas and stay determined.
Be Amazing will walk you through the history of the LGBTQ community. Some children are born one gender but have a strong sense of what their identity should be.

In the past, it was a difficult road to walk if you were transitioning or choosing to live your life opposite the gender they were given at birth. The brave paved the way for kids today so they can be free to be themselves.
