This is an awesome story that teaches children that clothing and fashion have no gender. Everyone should wear what they feel the most comfortable in, and in Jacob's case, that would be dresses. It walks through the pushback and interactions one might get from going against the norm, and how to handle them. Recommended By Rin S., Powells.com
