Several Massachusetts Libraries Pushing Book About Transgender Child

Several Massachusetts public libraries are recommending a book for children that tells the story of a young girl who thinks she's a boy.

The book, titled Jack (Not Jackie), which Amazon advertises for children ages 4 through 8, describes an older sister's reactions to her younger sister's attempt to transform into a boy with the support of her parents. The 30-page book was originally published by Simon & Schuster in May 2009.
