Description
Alex has always been his mom’s “little star,” but as puberty arrives, something feels increasingly wrong. He knows he is a boy, yet everyone around him continues to see him as a girl.
He stops wearing dresses, cuts his hair, changes the way he dresses, and tries to find a way to make the outside match the person he knows himself to be. But telling people the truth is frightening. What will his parents think? Will his friends still like him? Will anyone understand?
Eventually, Alex finds the courage to write a letter to his mother and begin telling the people in his life that he is a boy and wants to be called Alex. What follows is not the rejection he feared, but love, acceptance, and the realization that he never stopped being his family’s little star.
With expressive, colorful illustrations by Sylvain Cabot, Finding My Spark offers a gentle and accessible story about a young transgender boy discovering that being yourself does not mean losing the people who love you.
