Resumen del Editor

What’s it like to parent a child in transition? 

Inspired by the acclaimed podcast How to Be a Girl, this is a highly personal and beautifully narrated memoir by Marlo Mack recounting the journey she’s been on since her three-year-old declared he should have been born a girl. And Mack agrees to the child’s request to be a girl.  

But getting the world to go along is another story. Putting the listener in her shoes, Mack takes us through how she explained it to her parents, found common ground with her ex, convinced educators, and developed radar for judgy parents who just didn’t understand. She builds out her network of LGBTQIA+ support for herself and M. But the biggest motivation for this "mama bear" is her wonderous child who sings "Frozen", giggles through conversations about her favorite fairy toys, and offers us bits of wisdom and insight well beyond her years. 

This is an unforgettable narrative of a remarkable child, a truly devoted parent, and what it means to practice motherhood in transition. 

Note from the author: The story I am sharing is about real people - me and my daughter and those who have lived through this very interesting time with us. To preserve the privacy of my child and others, I’ve changed nearly all of the names, including my own and that of my child.

Deeply moved

A beautifully told story of a remarkable little girl. This is an essential book for those who seek to understand the transgender experience. It is even more essential for those, like myself, who thought they understood but clearly did not. I am inspired and humbled.

excellent description of someone transgendered.

excellent story. My cousin is trans and having a very difficult time in transitioning from Caleb too Kayleigh I wish her all the problems would just disappear but, there are new trials and tribulations she faces every day. She was raised Mormon and I am a devout Catholic. So her parents have discussed sending for conversion Therapy since on top of all this she does feel more comfortable with a female partner. She has a long tough road ahead of her. God bless my sweet adorable little cousin Kaliegh. Sincerely, Danielle

Touching, Real Story

Such a touching story that does not hold back on the highs and lows of raises a trans-child. Hope more people can read and learn from this story.

Very emotionally impactful

Wow, I felt like I was going on the journey with the author and her daughter. My heart was warmed by the love of the parents for their child, soared with joy over triumphant moments, and broke with the pain caused by hateful people. I look forward to the day when trans folk are accepted for the wonderful people they are.
