Dotson

A memoir about what its like when they think youre their daughter, but you know youre their son. For as long as he could remember, Grayson has known he is a boy, not a girl. While his identical twin sister wore princess dresses and danced ballet in a tutu, Grayson preferred his Spider-Man costume or sweats. He was uncomfortable in anything considered girly. People called him a tomboy, but he knew that wasnt right either. He explained to his mother, I know Im supposed to be your daughter, but I feel more like your son. I guess Im your Dot-son. Grayson is now twelve years old. This is his story about what its like growing up transgenderfrom small moments, like getting a new haircut or playing football, to the big life events, like choosing a bathroom, coming out to his friends, and picking a new name. Filled with humor and joy, Dotson is a thought-provoking and honest story of one boys journey to becoming his best and truest self and sharing that with the world. The book also includes helpful resources for transgender kids and families.
