Proud of Me

Product Information

I loved the book for lots of reasons. Like Josh I didn't know my father (different situation) I understood the need to know what he liked and what he was like, just as Josh does. Though I do not like that Josh lied and traveled to meet a stranger I think Hagger-Holt did a good job of showing young readers why this is so dangerous. I hate when writers use this in a plot but never show the consequences. I felt Josh's desperation to know his dad and I understand why he took such risks. This book highlights life as part of the LGBTQ community and importantly doesn’t forget that others are not always accepting.

Go online to search for places to volunteer. It could be anyplace, from an animal shelter to a museum to a senior home - it's up to you! I promise. I want to do the duet, me and Tubbo have been practicing all week. I'm not about to bail on him now.” Through the ups and downs it all comes together to leave you with a full-heart and a lovely rounded ending (my biggest peeve is a poorly finished or rushed ending). I loved the honesty of this book and I think young people with definitely see themselves - the students in the pride club, the new girl, the struggles with sexuality. It’s written for children aged approximately 9 upwards but I definitely wouldn’t put a limit on it. No, I don’t think so. Her mum was a bit funny about it actually. I’m not sure that they approve of us.”

when Kristan dies his family takes it pretty hard and to cope they decide that it's Tommy's fault and to blame him. Tommy smiled so brightly as he jumped up and hugged Tubbo. Of course, they got first. They were the ultimate duo. No one could deny that.

They had left for college when Tommy was 12, never coming home for the holidays, never calling Tommy, nothing. And now when Tommy is about to turn 16 they decided to make an appearance in his life. Once I was at school, I realized that although some people’s dads weren’t around much, or at all, everyone seemed to have one, somewhere. And they all assumed that I did too.” Tommy couldn't help but groan, he had forgotten all about them coming home. Apparently, they wanted to come home for spring break, unlike all the past years when they would just stay at their college and hang out with friends. After 4 years Tommy would get to see his brothers again. The same brothers who hated his guts. I'm good Puffy! I swear! You know me and Tubbo have been duet partners since I started. I'm not about to let Karl or George take my spot.”I can understand to a degree Josh's desire however to take the person he knows was a donor and turn him into 'Dad' because he feels a disconnect from his Mums. He knows and although he accepts his family setup is very different from his friends or rather, boys in school, and wishes to see if the unknown would help him understand himself. Simple things like his desire to be perfectly organised whilst everyone else is a bit messy..plus, he's the only male in the house and he feels 'lost' among the three women. Tommy broke away from the hug to go warm up. This duet between him and Tubbo was one Tommy had been looking forward to all week. It was just a fun contemporary dance that had just the right amount of sharp movement that both the boys could work with. Tommy was a dancer after all. His emotions could wait till after. Right now Tommy needed to perform. Josh's journey was what really stood out to me though. As someone who has gone through fertility treatment myself, it always irritates me how people will toss suggestions around of donation etc as if it's really straightforward and simple. I can definitely think of more than a few adults who could do with reading this book, as just a basic introduction to some of the complexities that can arise. Unfortunately our biology is something that we're seemingly drawn to need to know about, and I could totally understand Josh's desperation. Puffy's voice boomed in Tommy's head breaking him out of thought. The ending was coming up and Tommy was already out of breath.

Puffy choreographed it for the two of them. It doesn't feel right if someone else did this dance with Tubbo. Tommy smiled once again before he took his trophy and sat down with the rest of his team. Next up were the duos and Trios. Both Tommy and Tubbos duet as well as Aimsey and Niki's duet. Hopefully, they both would place in the top ten.

Tommy's hand covered his mouth as his legs began to shake he crouched down, not yet going to the ground fully. Walking hand in hand toward the announcer Tommy smiled so brightly at the crowd, nothing could ruin this moment. The writing style is super easy to read and uses correct pronouns for characters throughout the book, I love this in writing as I think it really opens a discussion about the importance of not assuming a characters pronouns. Just because I don’t have actual evidence, documents that show Eli and I have the same donor, doesn’t stop hoping that it’s true. But to be totally sure, I need to actually meet Eli for myself.
