Publisher's Synopsis
One day Denise's daddy told her a secret. Not the kind of secret that made her happy. No, it made her very sad. He didn't want to be a boy anymore. He wanted to be a girl so he could wear dresses and makeup like Mom did. Denise felt hurt and confused, like she had lost her daddy. Her heart was broken. She tried to forget his secret. She tried to ignore it. But she could not. It seemed to grow bigger and bigger-too big to hide. What could she do? When Daddy Leaves to Be a Girl can help children handle the emotional turmoil of learning that their parent wants to transition to another sex. In age-appropriate language, Denise Shick explores the fears, confusion, and anger a child may experience during these difficult circumstances. She offers children assurance that God sees their pain and loves them. She also gives practical ways to guide children toward emotional and spiritual wholeness.
