Susan thinks her little sister Jackie has the best giggle! She can't wait for Jackie to get older so they can do all sorts of things like play forest fairies and be explorers together. But as Jackie grows, she doesn't want to play those games. She wants to play with mud and be a super bug! Jackie also doesn't like dresses or her long hair, and she would rather be called Jack.
Readers will love this sweet story about change and acceptance. This book is published in partnership with GLAAD to accelerate LGBTQ inclusivity and acceptance.

New on the banned lists: “Jack (not Jackie)” by Erica Silverman and illustrated by Holly Hatam. In this picture book, a big sister realizes that her little sister, Jackie, doesn't act like other girls and wants to be treated like a brother and go by Jack. https://t.co/BM4uzixVUn
