Which room will Jacob choose? Is it the one that society wants him to pick or the one where he feels more comfortable in?

Nice "ok for boys to dress in dresses" book. The author does a terrific job introducing tension into the story as Jacob expresses his desire and challenges his parents to support him. It's hard to explain, but that moment (which repeats) in which he says something along the lines of -- you say it's ok to be me, this is me, and starts to get worried is a really effective way of introducing empathy.
