We are completely and utterly thrilled that our book, Jacob’s New Dress, is now available for preorder on Amazon. My husband Ian and I are over the moon about having this book, which we envisioned so many years ago, finally come into being. The photo above gives you a sense of the lovely illustrations by Chris Case, who we think did a great job of capturing the spirit, emotion, and life of the book.
Jacob’s New Dress will be out on March 1. We hope to have approximately one zillion preorders by then, so we can show bookstores that this is a book worth stocking. Some of you who saw my post on Facebook have already preordered and for that we love and thank you so very much. But most of all, all the Jacobs of the world love and thank you so very much, for helping to educate the world about them, and for helping to keep them safe and happy in all their sparkly glory.

Yay!!! 🙂 🙂 I’m so excited for you–and for the chance to read this when it comes out! I had to wear boy’s pants the whole time I was growing up. I love dresses SO much!!! Now that I’m an adult, I want to wear dresses as much as I possibly can. Can’t wait to read Jacob’s story. I’m definitely going to purchase a copy!
Oh thank you Justine. I’ll be eager to hear what you think.
Congratulations, Sarah! I can’t wait to read it!
Best ,Eric
Thanks Eric! Hey we need to talk about your film.
I’ve make one small preorder towards your zillion, and I congratulate you on another huge step in getting your message out there. Your blog, your work with schools and talks at relevant organizations, and now your book. You have kept going, against the mainstream, to help many deserving children and their parents.
Thank you.
Oh thank you!! So kind.
This is a fantastic thing that will help lead us to a whole new dawn of human consciousness, congratulations! and wishing you much love on the wonderful journey ahead of you:)
Oh thank you Deni. A new dawn of human consciousness! I am looking forward to that.
When I saw this I literally screamed with joy! I’m gender variant myself and am hoping to go into psychiatric gender counseling. This will be a wonderful addition to my stockpile of gender books. I am currently in the process of publishing a children’s book on bullying. The main character in said book will, in further books, be introduced as gender non-conforming as well. I hope “Jacob’s New Dress” and your follow-up posts will give me a renewed sense of what it is like to express trans* concepts with children!
Congrats on your book!
I’m SO happy! Another step to help the world evolve! =)
