Souchy

You will enjoy meeting Souchy the Tomboy!

She loves her male friends, and she enjoys

playing and hanging out with them as well

as her three older brothers. She likes the

roughness of sports, male clothes, and male

shoes. She really hates dresses and has made

sure her mother knows just how much she

hates them! But she is still a girl, and she

loves her jewelry and painted nails!

Her father doesn't like her playing with or

hanging around the boys. He thinks boys

and girls should be separated. Girls play

with girls and boys play with boys. He wants

Souchy to live as a girl and do all girl things.

Souchy would much rather play with the boys in the neighborhood

because she has no interest in girl games. She only wants to play sports,

have rock fights, jump fences, roller skate, and occasionally play baseball.

Get ready to laugh, cry, and experience Souchy's struggles of being

a tomboy in a household with sometimes rigid gender identities. And

learn about how she overcame her father's dislike of her not wanting

to be like the other girls in the neighborhood and at school.
