Description
There are so many fun things to play with at Jamie’s new preschool—baby dolls to care for, toy cars to drive—and Jamie wants to play with them all! But the other children are confused by Jamie’s gender expression . . . is Jamie a boy or a girl? Some toys are just for girls and others are just for boys, aren’t they? Not according to Jamie!
Join Jamie’s new friends as they learn the importance of cooperation, creativity, and empathy. Jamie Is Jamie is a great way to start a conversation with children about gender expression by:
- challenging gender stereotypes
- showing readers that playing is fundamental to learning
- reinforcing the idea that all children need the freedom to play unencumbered
A special section for teachers, parents, and caregivers provides tips on how to make children’s playtime learning time.
Don’t miss out on more of Jamie’s adventures in Jamie and Bubbie, available now!

Jamie Is Jamie delivers an important message that is poignant and simple: we don’t need to know if Jamie was born a boy or a girl to know who Jamie is. Jamie, like the reader, is playful, imaginative, friendly and full of possibilities.

Jamie Is Jaime is a 5-star story that really helped my class get through a time when we were struggling with “boy toys” and “girl toys” and the genders would often exclude each other. This book helped me explain that everyone can play … Read More

I want to say that is is an excellent book about children making choices. I like the way we are teaching children that it is important to play and feel good about yourself to encourage good self esteem.
