We're Turning One of Our Most Popular Essays Into a Children's Book
Three years ago, when Restore Childhood was still small and only a few hundred people were reading us, we published an essay I Was a Girl Who Wanted to Be a Boy.
Thousands of people read it. Hundreds shared it. Three years later, readers still email us about it.
The reason is simple - Stephanie's story isn't about politics, it's about growing up feeling different.
The question at the heart of Stephanie's story remains as important as ever: What happens when a child doesn't fit the stereotype?
Stephanie's parents gave her an answer that changed her life.
They told her she was a girl. A girl who loved hockey. A girl who hated dresses. A girl who didn't fit expectations.
But a girl, nonetheless.
