A young boy longs for a dress that he sees in a shop window and rejoices when his mother gifts it to him for his birthday.
That dress! It shimmers, so radiant and red. As the boy stares at it, full of wonder, he has just one wish: to put on that dress and to swirl and to swish. He’ll do anything to earn enough to buy it from the secondhand shop, but he’ll have to hurry. There’s just one red dress in the window!
This playful and imaginative story of self-expression brims with the infectious joy that comes when a child’s individuality is met with wholehearted support and love.
A resource list for parents and caregivers who want to learn more about gender identity and expression in children, along with coloring pages featuring the dress and other clothes from the shop, is available at flyawaybooks.com/resources.
