I like that this book exists, and thought the author did a good job of showing different types of families, as well as reflecting the combination of the fun stuff (plays!) and drudgery of elementary school. The writing itself was so-so, but I think that as a read-aloud it would still work well. I liked the ending quite a bit. 
 I read this for the Read Harder Challenge: "Read a book by or about a person that identifies as transgender."
