Souchy: The Tomboy

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.
