Illustrated by
Bob Graham.
Jack and Alex find common ground in the sandbox at the playground, even though Jack likes trucks and Alex prefers dolls wearing "pink, sparkly" tutus. With some flexible thinking ("Let's play dolls...that drive trucks"), the two boys play together while remaining true to themselves. Graham skillfully illustrates a diverse cast of characters to support Stott's gentle message about individuality and inclusion.
