Jacob's School Play
Starring He, She, and They
«Making space for everyone is no small task. Seeing one another, asking the right questions, and honoring how each person walks through the world is something learned, but not often enough taught…. But this is not a book about conflict or being accepted by others for who you are. It's about classmates each embracing that their experience is not the only experience and that every person fits beautifully into this world in their own way. I'm so grateful that children in every classroom will have the opportunity to see themselves and their friends represented in Jacob's School Play. That's so needed and so beautifully done in this book.»

Jacob- star of one of the most banned books of the decade according to the American Library Association- is back in his third book and ready to put on a school play! While learning their lines and making their costumes, Jacob's class finds itself unexpectedly struggling with identity, and what it means to be 'he,' 'she,' or 'they.' Jacob's School Play is an engaging way to introduce young readers to non-binary people and the pronoun options available to us all. Learning that individuals are more nuanced than how others see them is a developmentally important milestone, and helps foster respect of one's self and one's peers.

«An empowering and uplifting tale…perfect icebreaker for young students to have meaningful conversations about gender identity and community.»
The Advocate
«When Ari is misgendered by Jacob, Ari corrects him, but Jacob needs his teacher, Ms. Reeves, to address his arguments against using the pronoun “they”: “They is for two kids.” She models thoughtful explanations for adult and child readers… Case’s joyful illustrations portray a colorful classroom filled with a students from diverse backgrounds, in scenes filled with energy and laughter… In collections where Jacob’s other stories do well, this is a worthwhile inclusion….»
School Library Journal
«This straightforward and important book that honors everyone will help adults have thoughtful conversations with young children about gender identity, particularly the message about respecting someone's choice to use ungendered pronouns. Case's beautifully textured illustrations invite the child reader into the bustling, friendly classroom. Pair with It Feels Good to Be Yourself (2019), by Theresa Thorn and Noah Grigni, for another picture book to continue the conversation about gender identity.»
Booklist
"The school play metaphor is gentle and effective in showing one child eventually comprehending a classmate’s nonbinary identity.”
Publishers Weekly
«It’s great to see this series continuing to explore some of the many aspects of gender identity and expression, and to do so here through the eyes of someone whose gender expression isn’t traditional, but who is still learning about gender identity. And even though the teacher does much of the explaining, Ari is also confident in who they are and in communicating this to Jacob.»
Mombian
«A learning opportunity for readers outside the nonbinary experience.»
