Der Katze ist das ganz egal

(The cat couldn't care less) Book not yet available in English

Summary:

Leo has a lovely new name: Jennifer. Jennifer doesn’t know how she got her name, but she’s really happy to have finally woken up with it one day. It’s like she can breathe easier now. Only, the grown-ups don’t get it at first. They actually think she should keep on being Leo, a boy. But fat Gabriel, Anne and Stella, her best friends in the whole world and trusty allies in skipping school, trying on clothes and finding themselves, totally disagree. They should all follow the cat’s example. She’s neither happy nor sad about Leo’s new name. She couldn’t care less. [Source: publisher]

Comment:

A transgender story without any drama or moralistic finger-wagging, but instead a lot of understanding for everyone involved. [Source: Borromeo Association of Bonn, book profile, 2/2020]
