In I\u2019m Glad God Made Me a Girl, young girls discover God\u2019s design and purpose for them. The story also touches on the reasons some girls believe becoming a boy makes sense for them. This resource shows girls that they are fearfully and wonderfully made by God and that as females, they are beautiful, kind, brave, smart, and strong. This book is a valuable tool for parents, pastors, and counselors who seek to demonstrate love and compassion as they minister to children who struggle with gender confusion.<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-buttons uagb-buttons__outer-wrap uagb-btn__default-btn uagb-btn-tablet__default-btn uagb-btn-mobile__default-btn uagb-block-3c435c21 btn-100\"><div class=\"uagb-buttons__wrap uagb-buttons-layout-wrap \">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-buttons-child uagb-buttons__outer-wrap uagb-block-b016b4c7 wp-block-button proxima-font\"><div class=\"uagb-button__wrapper\"><a class=\"uagb-buttons-repeater wp-block-button__link\" aria-label=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Im-Glad-God-Made-Girl\/dp\/B088JFHBKT\/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=I%27m%20Glad%20God%20made%20me%20a%20Girl&amp;qid=1590019778&amp;sr=8-1\" rel=\"follow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" role=\"button\"><div class=\"uagb-button__link\">amazon<\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-buttons-child uagb-buttons__outer-wrap uagb-block-87f6d08c wp-block-button proxima-font\"><div class=\"uagb-button__wrapper\"><a class=\"uagb-buttons-repeater wp-block-button__link\" aria-label=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/store.focusonthefamily.com\/im-glad-god-made-me-a-girl\/\" rel=\"follow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" role=\"button\"><div class=\"uagb-button__link\">focus on the family<\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-dcbc9594\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-89881524 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livingstonesministries.org\/help4families\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/THE-BOY-WHO.webp ,https:\/\/livingstonesministries.org\/help4families\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/THE-BOY-WHO.webp 780w, https:\/\/livingstonesministries.org\/help4families\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/THE-BOY-WHO.webp 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/livingstonesministries.org\/help4families\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/THE-BOY-WHO.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"uag-image-1522\" width=\"500\" height=\"492\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-0d0ce0d2 proxima-font\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">THE BOY WHO LIKED TEA PARTIES<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-6203bcc6 adobe-reg\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">Lucas loves to play superheroes with his friend Ricky.

Not the kind of secret that made her happy. No, it made her very sad. He didn\u2019t 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\u2014too 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.<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-buttons uagb-buttons__outer-wrap uagb-btn__default-btn uagb-btn-tablet__default-btn uagb-btn-mobile__default-btn uagb-block-00d00def btn-100\"><div class=\"uagb-buttons__wrap uagb-buttons-layout-wrap \">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-buttons-child uagb-buttons__outer-wrap uagb-block-e80a6c47 wp-block-button proxima-font\"><div class=\"uagb-button__wrapper\"><a class=\"uagb-buttons-repeater wp-block-button__link\" aria-label=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/When-Daddy-Leaves-Be-Girl\/dp\/1985013975\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;keywords=when%20daddy%20leaves%20to%20be%20a%20girl&amp;qid=1533684937&amp;sr=8-1\" rel=\"follow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" role=\"button\"><div class=\"uagb-button__link\">amazon<\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-buttons-child uagb-buttons__outer-wrap uagb-block-ae3051af wp-block-button proxima-font\"><div class=\"uagb-button__wrapper\"><a class=\"uagb-buttons-repeater wp-block-button__link\" aria-label=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/when-daddy-leaves-to-be-a-girl-denise-shick\/1137052521\" rel=\"follow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" role=\"button\"><div class=\"uagb-button__link\">barns and noble<\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"gsp_post_data\" \r\n\t            data-post_type=\"page\" \r\n\t            data-cat=\"\" \r\n\t            data-modified=\"120\"\r\n\t            data-created=\"1707283507\"\r\n\t            data-title=\"Children&#8217;s Books\" \r\n\t            data-home=\"https:\/\/livingstonesministries.org\/help4families\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Children&#8217;s Books Resources I Want My Sister Back \u201cOn the inside, I\u2019m sure I\u2019m a boy.\u201d Ava is shocked and confused when her older sister, Riley, shares her desire to be a boy.
