Reviews
This is the type of story every coach should be reading along with their players. With so much of the talk centered around "policy debate", Jacob's Transition reminds us that this about people and people just wanna play ball! Jacob's Transition is definitely at the top of the Table.
'A fun and heartwarming story of achieving your dreams, and the importance of having the love and support of your family and friends'
'Such a beautiful book and one i would have loved to have read growing up. A story that builds confidence, belonging and pride. Every kid deserves to see themselves in a book like this. It's life changing for trans kids.'
'Jacob's Transition Goals' is not just a book. It's a physical representation for so many young trans people and their lived experiences. It's a symbol and story of hope, acceptance and most importantly pride.
