“..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.
