William Wants a Dress

I really liked this book. There is a very interesting abstraction to the writing and gender words that would have made me ask intelligent social questions as a child. It reminded me of an old favorite song, William Wants a Doll but instead of being about a boy wanting to learn about nurturing it was more about a child learning about owning and exploring their creativity and artistic sense without judgement and how sometimes it's just about finding the right mentor. Very cool book!

Not Just For Children

I love this book! It's a beautifully illustrated & tenderly written, heartfelt story. As noted above in the title of this review, "10,000 Dresses" is much more than a children's storybook: anyone who has ever faced & triumphed over adversity (& who hasn't) will find the narrative empowering & inspiring & fun. Did I mention the illustrations are lovely? You will not regret purchasing "10,000 Dresses"!

A quietly told story that explains well to children (and adults) what it means to be transgender. I read it at the Pride service at my church in June and it was well- received.
Thank you to the author, illustrator and publisher!

We found this at the library, and I read it while we waited. I promptly put it back on the shelf. The story is poorly conceived: the parents are unsupportive and cold, while a...Read more

There is nothing wrong with being a boy in a dress.

Why in the world would you tell a child that femininity mean you're female? Boys ought to be able to wear what they want without being transed.

Great book, and great use of pronouns

Great book, and great use of pronouns; my preschool class liked it. I was a little disappointed with the ebook, as there were typographical errors.Read more

My son was weirded out by it.

Bought it for my 4 year old son who wears his sister's dresses all the time. Was surprised he didn't like this, but my son was weirded out, not because it was a boy wearing...Read more

I think this attempt at a "children's book" was written and published more or less as a political statement.Read more
