Jacob's New Dress

This is a good book about letting kids be who they are and let them explore what they like. Illustrations are very cute! ~Ashley

Jacob has supportive parents, friends and teachers, but also shitty friends and also the shitty world to deal with. His classmate Christopher obviously feels his masculinity is being threatened by having a boy wear a dress in his class, and I'm willing to bet his dad feels the same since he told Christopher that boys don't wear dresses. Christopher is just bent all the way out of shape here. On every page he's either scowling at Jacob or laughing at him. Relax, kid! Just live your life! No one is stopping you from being a boy!

This picture broke my heart a bit:


I hope Christopher gets over himself and Jacob has a happy life.
I only saw one comment from someone saying that it's immoral and confusing for boys to wear girl clothes (but presumably not for girls to wear boy clothes because I guess we should all aspire to be boys) so that's nice!
