This is the kind of stellar book that makes your heart swell up with emotion, empathy, sadness, and love. My heart can’t take it anymore it’s so beautiful.
My God was this good. As a nonbinary person, reading about Claude’s journey in becoming Poppy was overwhelmingly moving — a very bittersweet story — but at the end of the day, love wins.
The prose is also engaging, humorous and evocative. Laurie Frankel deserves all the awards.
I think everyone should read this book. It provides so many perspectives and promotes openmindedness.
ANYONE WHO HAS READ IT, PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT! WOULD LOVE TO TALK ABOUT IT WITH YOU.
“This is Claude. He’s five years old, the youngest of five brothers, and loves peanut butter sandwiches. He also loves wearing a dress, and dreams of being a princess.” – Goodreads
