A reflection about the traditions and divisions betweenboy and girl's clothing. Whycan't we dress as we like?

A reflection about the traditions and divisions between boy and girl's clothing. Why can’t we dress as we like?

Leo loves to wear costumes: pirate, superhero, knight... he also likes to put on a lavender skirt, but the day he decided to go out with it, someone mistakes him for a girl. He gets very angry. Can’t a boy play and put on a skirt? Years ago, girls weren´t allowed to wear pants...

También disponible en español. (Also available in Spanish.)

Without going into heavier discussions of gender presentation versus identity, this sweet, simple story, translated from Spanish, encourages children to dress as they like without being burdened by societal expectations about gender. Readers don’t get to find out how Leo’s day at school goes, but the love and support of his family may be the most important thing in this case. – Kirkus Reviews
