| Summary Note |
A young boy faces adversity from classmates when he wears an orange dress at school. |
| “Morris is a little boy who loves using his imagination. He dreams about having space adventures, paints beautiful pictures and sings the loudest during circle time. But most of all, Morris loves his classroom’s dress-up center — he loves wearing the tangerine dress. But the children in Morris’s class don’t understand. Dresses, they say, are for girls. And Morris certainly isn’t welcome in the spaceship some of his classmates are building … This is a sweetly told story about the courage and creativity it takes to be different.” – Publisher website. |
