Add to basketSo Devin Wore a Skirt is an empowering picture book for young children about the importance of family acceptance and the joy of being true to yourself.
Devin’s family are all dressed up for Nanabapa’s Big Birthday, and everyone looks fabulous! But Devin doesn’t have anything special to wear. Then, he spots one of his sister’s skirts lying on her bed – it’s the deepest blue, and it shimmers in the light. So, Devin puts the skirt on. . .
. . . and it feels amazing! But what will everyone say? Devin hides the skirt under a disguise to finally enjoy the party and dance the night away. But all this dancing makes Devin VERYhot! So, he takes off his disguise and reveals the skirt.
All eyes are on him –but in steps Nanabapa. He takes Devin’s hand, twirls him round in his beautiful skirt . . . and the party continues in full swing!
