The Transgender Child isn’t just an important resource for parents with transgender and gender-variant children; it’s also a great, practical guide that every parent should read. As more and more families strive to be supportive of their children, this book is a smart, accessible roadmap that has something to teach everyone about embracing and supporting young people. Parents, teachers, grandparents and anyone who interacts with kids on a regular basis will find The Transgender Child to be a smart guide for what can often be an uncharted journey. Stephanie Brill and Rachel Pepper help parents cut to the chase so they can do what every parent does best: love and embrace their child, no matter who they are.”

“Finally! The book health care providers and parents of gender-variant children have been waiting for. Compassionate, pragmatic, and based on available research and practical wisdom. Read it! Share it! Use it to nurture your child and make our family and community environments supportive and sustaining for gender variant children and youth.”

"For far too long parents, families, friends, teachers and helping professionals have lacked a unified resource to help them navigate a reality that can be perplexing and challenging. The needs of transgender and gender variant youngsters and their families are multiple, complex and varied. Providing up-to-date and balanced information about a field of knowledge that is underdeveloped is not an easy task. With a clear commitment to improving the lives of transgender children and their families, Stephanie Brill and Rachel Pepper have achieved an inclusive and concise reading that is a must-have for all those involved.”
