Born Ready : The True Story of a Boy Named Penelope by Jodie Patterson

Penelope knows that he's a boy. (And a ninja.)

The problem is getting everyone else to realise it. In this exuberant companion to Jodie Patterson's adult memoir, The Bold World, Patterson shares her son Penelope's frustrations and triumphs on his journey to share himself with the world. Penelope's experiences show children that it always makes you stronger when you are true to yourself and who you really are.
