Kids’ Storytime With Sarah & Ian Hoffman
August 10, 2019 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
FreeToday, authors Sarah and Ian Hoffman join us to read from their new picture book, Jacob’s Room to Choose (Magination Press). When Jacob goes to the boys’ bathroom, he is chased out for looking like a girl because of the way he is dressed. His classmate, Sophie, has a similar experience when she tries to go to the girls’ bathroom. When their teacher finds out what has happened, Jacob and Sophie, with the support of the administration, lead change at their school as everyone discovers the many forms of gender expression and how to treat each other with respect.
