classmates and his family. The story follows his journey to
discovering what bullying looks like and how it makes others feel.
The artwork is vibrant and the story provides a framework for
opening up a discussion about bullying.

A frank, smart and captivating memoir by the daughter of Apple
founder Steve Jobs.
__________________________________________________ Born on a farm
and named in a field by her parents - artist Chrisann Brennan and
Steve Jobs - Lisa Brennan-Jobs's childhood unfolded in a rapidly
changing Silicon Valley. When she was young, Lisa's father was a
mythical figure who was rarely present in her life. As she grew
older, her father took an interest in her, ushering her into a new
world of mansions, holidays and private schools. His attention was
thrilling, but he could also be cold, critical and unpredictable.
When her relationship with her mother grew strained in high school,
Lisa decided to move in with her father, hoping he'd become the
parent she'd always wanted him to be. Small Fry is Lisa
Brennan-Jobs's poignant story of a childhood spent between two
imperfect but extraordinary homes. Scrappy, wise and funny, young
Lisa is an unforgettable guide through her parents' fascinating and
disparate worlds. Part portrait of a complex family, part love
letter to California in the seventies and eighties, Small Fry is an
enthralling book by an insightful new literary voice.
In January of 2018, Lisa started a new chapter of life, as her
youngest child shared with the family that she is a transgender
woman. After some adjustment, the Brennan family has found that
when you treasure someone for who they are, it is magical and
sacred. Lisa wrote a beginner's guidebook for family and friends,
and to her surprise, it was widely shared, with churches,
hospitals, and schools asking her to share her family's adventure
of love and acceptance. This prompted Lisa to write a book about
her family's journey. She hopes that it will spread some education
and love into the world.
