I found the mannequin like art style of this book a little creepy, and I'm not sure that I like the term princess boy.
The overall message of accepting, and nurturing gender non-conforming youth is of course beautiful.

This book was on the 100 most challenged books of 2010-2019. The concept of the book is good. I don't particularly like the art. The text is okay. So what's the issue with this book? That five year old boys are able to wear so-called girl clothes and use the term princess. Doesn't seem like that's a big ask. 3.5 of 5.

I thought the book was cute. The princess boy seems very happy with himself. His family is very supportive and this book can be a very good teaching book about differences and tolerance. Like another reviewer I was kind of put off by the faceless people, too. Otherwise, a good book. My heart goes out to the families of little boys and girls who have to put up with those who make faces or comments about something that is none of their business.

I don't think this actually accomplishes what it attempts to. When the illustrations are completely amorphous I think that's sending the opposite message as it intended to. My princess boy (who has no name) is basically a lollipop stick figure in a pink dress. The book ends by asking if you'd make fun of him, if you'd be his friend, etc. I don't think we're the target audience as my kids were just confused by these questions.

A sweet book to introduce children to tolerance and fighting gender stereotypes.
