If You're a Kid Like Gavin
If You're a Kid Like Gavin | Kyle Lukoff, Gavin Grimm
2 posts | 1 read
A celebratory and empowering story from young trans activist Gavin Grimm, two-time Stonewall Award-winning and Newbery Honor-winning author Kyle Lukoff, and illustrator J Yang follows the true story of how a young boy stood up for himself--and made history along the way. When you're a kid like Gavin Grimm, you know yourself best. And Gavin knew that he was a boy--even if others saw him as a girl. But when his school took away his right to something as simple as using the boy's restroom, Gavin knew he had a big decision to make. Because there are always more choices than the ones others give you. Gavin chose to correct others when they got his pronouns wrong. He asked to be respected. He stood up for himself. Gavin proved that his school had violated his constitutional rights and had the Supreme Court uphold his case--bringing about a historic win for trans rights. There are many kids out there, some just like Gavin Grimm, and they might even be you. What choices will you make?

Trans rights are in the news and this picture book about real-life trans activist Gavin Grimm is an excellent way to open a discussion on the topic with readers in middle school. Gavin is a trans boy and, with the help of the ACLU, he fought for his right to use the boy‘s bathroom at school. Appealing art by J Yang and a positive message about fighting for what you believe in. #LGBTQ #TransGirlApril #kidlit

ChaoticMissAdventures Very timely to read, the House just passed a trans sport ban today. I know the Senate will not take it up but it is just too much. 2y

And if you‘re a kid like Gavin Grimm, you don‘t choose if you‘re a boy or a girl. But if you‘re transgender like Gavin Grimm, you might choose to talk about it.

Lindy @sarahbarnes The text does a great job of placing the reader inside the experiences of a trans kid. 🏳️‍⚧️ 2y
