Overview

"""A barrier-breaking, empathy-inducing story for all."" LoveReading4Kids I wonder what people would think if they could take the front off our house, like a doll's house, and watch us. All in the same house, but everyone separate. No one talking, but everyone thinking the same thing. Will we ever be a normal family again? Izzy's family is under the spotlight when her dad comes out as Danielle, a trans woman. Now shy Izzy must face her fears, find her voice, confront the bullies and stand up for her family. Warm, honest and hopeful, this is a story about the power of family, friendship and being true to yourself."
