Everett always felt different from the other kids in his class. The girls in class didn't want to play with him and the boys didn't want to play with him, either.
The only time Everett felt like he could truly be himself was when he dreamt. In his dreams, he always dreamt of the same thing - dresses. Lots and lots of pretty, pink, frilly dresses. They danced all around him.
Then one day, a new student joins the class, and Everett discovers that he's not the only one that's different. Join Everett and Olivia as they get to know each other and learn what it means to be a good friend...
Advanced Reviews
"Everett is an impressive boy who, despite mounting pressure from his peers, continues to stay true to his beliefs that traditional ‘feminine’ things such as dresses, nail polish, and tea parties can be enjoyed by everyone. I shared this book with my children and they enjoyed seeing how imaginative Everett and his friends are. This book allowed us to discuss how the only limitations you have in life are the ones you put on yourself. I would recommend this book to any child because it is such a great reminder of how people, no matter their age, will always try to make you conform to their preconceived notions of gender and resisting is sometimes the hardest part, but staying true to yourself is most rewarding."
- Rachel Demerling-Lowe, M.A.
"A fun and whimsical book that thoughtfully explores the issues of teasing/bullying and embracing what makes us special. It invites young readers to come to a place of acceptance of others’ differences and our own, and to lean into their ‘uniqueness’ as they strive to live full and authentic lives. I especially love the sections on affirmations (these are important reminders for young children and readers of all ages!), and the reflective questions at the end of the book that will be sure to stimulate interesting discussions. A wonderful addition to any home or school library; an important learning opportunity for children of all ages, including the adults who may guide this learning!"
- C. LaBella, M.A., Professor & Author
"A profound parent-child relationship of love, nurturing, and respect permeates this mother-daughter collaboration that teaches there is both strength and beauty to be found in the uniqueness of every person. The illustrations are colourful and attractive, with an obvious attention to detail that says ‘made with pure love.’ This book belongs in the hands of children, families, and educators. The accompanying exercises and discussion questions make it an obvious choice for teaching kids that respectful dialogue is the way to overcome fears about differences between us. This book proves that talking about inclusion and gender can be accomplished with the disarming power of storytelling and art."
