Críticas:

30 Most Anticipated Books for Fall"--Kirkus

"While Gabriel acknowledges that Sam's parents, teachers, and classmates take time to feel comfortable with Sam's identity, the story concentrates on Sam's emotional journey through sadness and anger to, ultimately, happiness that he can be himself rather than on the learning process of those around him...A coming-out story radiating warmth and joy. (author's note)--Kirkus Reviews

"...one of only a handful of queer children's books to engage both racial and gender diversity through major characters...I would like to see this in classroom libraries, shared with children who might need it very much. It's a welcome addition to the growing number of books about transgender children published in recent years."--Raise Them Righteous

"[A] warm story of sibling support and family love."--Washington Blade

Reseña del editor:

Nobody knew Sam was a boy except for him. Sam loves riding his bike and learning about the American Revolution. He is full of laughter and joy. There’s just one problem: Sam’s family knows him as a girl named Isabel. Sam feels a sense of relief when he finally confides in his annoying but caring sister Maggie, and then his parents, even though it takes them a while to feel comfortable with it. But with lots of love and support, Sam and his family learn and grow through Sam’s journey to embrace his true self. In the vein of I Am Jazz by Jessica Herthel, Sam! is based on a true story. With a note from the author explaining their family’s experience, Sam! is an important addition to a list of books that help children and adults discuss gender identity.
