Elsie Zahara has definite ideas about what she wants and how. She knows she can do all kinds of things herself, and she wants to do them right now.

But her family still sees her as a baby and won’t let her try. So they step in and take over, lest things go awry.

And that makes Elsie Zahara very, very mad.

But even if she flops, flails, or flounders, Elsie wants to give it a shot. Will her family ever give her the space to do it herself or will they not?

“..fun little tale, lively written, and pretty cool cut paper illustrations which really bound with joy on every page” – Picture Books Review

“This is by far the best book I have found for us. This is, essentially, my son’s story. And *for once* there is no false equivalency to sexuality. Just a boy who refuses to be limited by the narrow definition of gender stereotypes for ‘boy’ in our culture.” – My Migraine Family

“This is a welcome addition to the picture book ranks encouraging tolerance, especially of young children exploring gender norms, and the message is very hopeful.” – Miss Marple’s Musings

 

ROLAND HUMPHREY IS WEARING A WHAT? is the story of a little boy’s quest to be his authentic self, dressed in pink and festooned with sparkles, in a world that frowns upon boys who like “girly” things. Roland sees girls at his school dress in a rainbow of hues and is confused by the “rules” limiting what boys can choose; he doesn’t understand why girls can like sports and ballet, but for boys there’s just one way. Written in verse, Roland Humphrey is Wearing a WHAT? playfully raises important questions about gender norms, acceptance, and friendship.
