Jacob's New Dress

40 pp. | Whitman | March, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-6373-1 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Chris Case. With his mother's help, Jacob, a boy who chooses dresses from the class costume corner, sews a dress of his own. While neither art nor text is especially distinguished, the emotionally resonate gender-nonconformity story will be useful in many settings and provides guidance for both adults and children wondering how to handle a boy who prefers dresses. Thoughtful notes to adults add value.
