Each layer of the toy represents the different stages he goes through, as he begins to question his identity - being born as a girl and transitioning to a boy.
It comes with an e-book to help teachers and parents talk about gender diversity with their children and students.
Sam's story is going viral on Facebook with more than a million views.
Organizers have raised $12,000 of the $135,000 dollars that they need to go to production.
