Be who you are, feel good about it. I like that message, and this is a very nice boy in a dress book, better than most that I have read. Swish swish swish goes the tangerine dress.

Morris loves his Tangerine dress. This book addresses his preferences successfully and sweetly.

Short Summary:

Morris likes wearing a tangerine dress, and is bullied at school for it. The kids immediately come around when Morris ignores their bullying and shows them that he is creative and fun.

Personal Reflection: Art is pretty low grade. Story is a bit "on the nose" and reductive. Feels calculated to appeal to political zeitgeist rather than tell a rich narrative.
