ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
“This Is How It Always Is” by Laurie Frankel tells the story of the Walsh-Adams family, focusing on their youngest child, Claude, who expresses a desire to live as a girl. As Claude’s journey unfolds, the family faces the complexities of gender identity, societal expectations, and the challenges of raising a child who does not conform to traditional norms. The novel explores themes of family dynamics, love, acceptance, and the fluidity of identity. It delves into the emotional and social hurdles of supporting a child’s self-expression in a world that often struggles to understand gender diversity.
