Read it first to make sure it seems right for your kid...
My son, who was never teased for wearing skirts or dresses by any of his amazingly cool friends, wasn't aware that what he was choosing to wear was "abnormal" until reading this book. The bullying described terrified him and he's never worn a dress or skirt since. It may be helpful for some, but parents, please read it ahead of time and see if it feels right knowing your kid as well as you do. It was not right for mine and I'm afraid a little damaging. I think it introduced bullying (which comes all too soon anyway!) too early for him and made him feel like he was doing something weird when before he was perfectly happy.
