Morris Micklewhite and the Tangerine Dress by Christine Baldacchino
4.0
It's a nice sweet story. Loved the vibrant orange color of the dress and Morris' mom hair. But it felt like many other books talking about the same subject of a young boy who don't feat in the masculine mold. We do see boys but also girls bullying Morris, for his way of dressing, which is sad but realistic.
I especially appreciated the part where the boys push him away "threaten to get contaminate by his girlish ways", because it's often the case that boys/men, threaten in their own masculinity. They can act badly toward to person assigned boys/men at birth who are not scared to express every part of their gender identity.
