He knows who he is in his heart and in his mind but he hasn't yet told his family. Finally, he can wait no longer- \"I'm not a girl,\" he tells his family. \"I'm a boy--a boy in my heart and in my brain.\" Quick to support him, his loving family takes Calvin shopping for the swim trunks he's always wanted and back-to-school clothes and a new haircut that helps him look and feel like the boy he's always known himself to be.
