Gino, A. (2015). George. Scholastic Press. George is a fourth grade student that was born a boy but is a girl on the inside. George doesn't know how to tell her friends and family until the fourth grade play of Charlotte's Web comes along. She just knew that if she get the part of Charlotte everyone including her mother would see her as a girl. Unfortunately her teacher didn't allow her to be Charlotte because she, George, was a boy. In the end her best friend Kelly switched places with George, so George was able to play the part of Charlotte in front of everyone. Not only was Kelly being a friend by switching with her , but also by giving George the opportunity of actually being a girl for one day. The two of them went on a trip to the zoo where no one new them and George dressed up as a girl for the day. That was the beginning of George feeling like herself in front of people. One strength that I saw was the part when George and her mother are in the Principal's office and George notices the sign on the wall that says, " SUPPORT SAFE SPACES FOR GAY, LESBIAN, BISEXUAL, AND TRANSGENDER YOUTH." I think when she read this she realized that she wasn't the only one feeling the way she did. That she wasn't the only one stuck in a boys body. Other books like George are I am Jazz by Jessica Herthel and Red: A Crayon's Story by Michael Hall. Although this issue is very controversial you can't help but feel sorry for children who are suffering from gender identity. I learned that a child can't help what they are feeling on the inside even if it contradicts how they look on the outside.
