Reviews
"""Little Lenny Gets His Horns is a picture book story about a seemingly female sheep who knows that he is really a goat. Remi Recchia uses rhymed poetry to tell an important tale. This book will help a child to understand that some people are not comfortable with their assigned gender, need to tell others about this real identity, and may change their bodies to fulfill their lives. Recchia tells the story with true empathy for individuals who need to defy traditional expectations in order to be authentic. Lenny the transgender goat finds that his family and his society accept and respect him. The happy ending of Little Lenny Gets His Horns will reassure transgender individuals that their lives can be joyful, too."" -Janet Ruth Heller, PhD, author of How the Moon Regained Her Shape"
