Bailey is obsessed with fabulous frocks, but his mother and father, in turn, remind him that "boys don't wear dresses!" The text refers to the character in the feminine ("Bailey went to her room"), which may confound--or call to--the readership at which this well-meaning book is pitched. The cut-paper illustrations are as stylish as Bailey.

Every night, Bailey dreams about magical dresses: dresses made of crystals and rainbows, dresses made of flowers, dresses made of windows. . . . Unfortunately, when Bailey's awake, no one wants to hear about these beautiful dreams. Quite the contrary. "You're a BOY!" Mother and Father tell Bailey. "You shouldn't be thinking about dresses at all." Then Bailey meets Laurel, an older girl who is touched and inspired by Bailey's imagination and courage. In friendship, the two of them begin making dresses together. And Bailey's dreams come true!

This gorgeous picture book—a modern fairy tale about becoming the person you feel you are inside—will delight people of all ages.
