Illustrated by
Mike Byrne.
All the boys in Nate's class are dressing as superheroes for Purim, but Nate would rather be an alien. After his dads remind him to be himself, he thinks of a compromise. Expressing the message in terms of costume selection is a gentle choice, and the inclusion of gay dads is refreshingly incidental. Colorful but inexpert illustrations show off Nate's creative duds.
