When Erin was a very little girl, two men hurt her. She thought that she got hurt because she was a girl, and if she became a boy, she would never be hurt like that again. But with the help of some wise and supportive adults, Erin learned that hurts can happen to anyone. She learned how to love herself as a girl again, and to know that no matter what, she was Always Erin.

I saw the author of this book in a webinar in which she explained her childhood sexual abuse and how she compensated by trying to do away with her female sexuality by "transitioning." This issues in this book are presented very sensitively. Fortunately, Erin's elementary school was the place she first received help because her parents did not want to acknowledge what had happened. I recommend this book strongly.

Must-Have Book for Libraries, Therapists' Offices, Child Welfare Agencies, and More

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2021

The last thing that victims of sexual assault need, whether children or adults, is to be encouraged in the idea that their body is somehow wrong. Family members, medical providers, and school personnel have GOT to back off of the transgender push and instead focus on helping victims avoid blaming themselves and their sex for what happened to them. It's absolutely natural for victims to feel that there is some factor they could have controlled to avoid being a victim. This is a survival instinct, not a cue to fire up the hormone therapies and operating rooms. This covert blame-the-victim mentality, which has become increasingly prevalent over the last decade, does nothing to help victims, but instead heaps more physical, mental, and emotional trauma onto their overburdened shoulders. PLEASE, everyone, read this book and buy copies for your local libraries, medical offices, faith communities, family and friends . . .

Great picture book to help kids process trauma

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2021

This book made me cry. Sad tears for little Erin and happy tears for adult Erin who made it through the terrors and the fear of what happened to her and grew up to be an amazing adult who has accomplished so much. This book has the potential to teach children that bad things happen sometimes and that it is not their fault, they CAN get help and they can work through it and go on and do great things. They don’t have to be taken down by the bad things that were done to them. It’s such an excellent message. Thank you for sharing your story Erin. The illustrations are also wonderful.

This book is age-appropriate for kids and has an important message.

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2021

This book is for children who may be suffering trauma and identity confusion as a result of sexual assault. It is written in such a way that it helps kids to deal with this sensitive and frightening issue, but does so in a way that is not scary for kids. It is hard to talk about this issue without being overly technical or inappropriate, but Erin has found a way to do it. I would recommend it for any elementary school or public library.

This book is bigotry presented as a kids story - hateful rhetoric like this should never be tolerated

Amazing book! Hope Erin writes another

Reviewed in Canada on June 15, 2021

So happy I purchased this and read to my daughter this evening. She has many questions lately about if "blue is for boys and pink is for girls" (among many other things). With porn culture and regressive ideology eclipsing common sense and hard-fought rights, things have become much more sexist than when I was growing up.

I expect a certain "Unicorn" to appear at her school soon which will confuse and alienate her and any gender non-conforming or gay classmates. I've been preparing for this and we have open discussion on how stereotypes do not make you a boy or a girl and this book's messaging is right on point in that regard.

This book focuses on trauma in a way that is not scary to kids or intimidating to parents. In simple, matter-of-fact language without revealing too many details on the "hurt" part of the story. Every child can relate to a "bad thing" happening to them and wanting to run away from it. This story helps to show how far some kids will run from pain... And that they can return to and love their bodies again.

This is the first children's book I have seen that has such a simple, healthy and SANE response to a subject that has recently become so over-complicated by adults (who should be protecting, not medicalizing them): "No child is born in the wrong body"! Period.

I am grateful that Erin shared her story in this children's (and adult's) book. The illustrations are child focused. The message is clear...love your body the way it is :). I plan to place copies of this book into "Little Free Library"s I see when I'm walking in my neighbourhood.

Thoughtfully and sensitively written, this has prompted conversation about a number of things for me and my Yr old daughter. The illustrations are really engaging too.
