In these beautifully illustrated pages, a diverse cast of slumber party participants considers the most time-honored traditions for how to dress. If a lady should wear white in summertime, then how about donning a spacesuit? If team colors are apropos at sporting events, why not wear helmets and play ball?
Uplifting and resonant, and with a variety of interests ranging from sports to science to politics, this book is sure to inspire any young girl, instilling the idea that the best way to dress like a girl is the way that makes you feel most like YOU!
What does it mean to dress like a girl?
Many will tell you in this big, wide world
that there are strict rules that must be addressed,
rules you will need when looking your best.
But when you are given these rules to obey,
the secret is heeding them—in your own way.
“A promotion of girl power . . . girl-centric playtime, role play, and friendship.” — Kirkus Reviews “What does it mean to “dress like a girl?” The six youngsters in this title show that there are no restrictions when it comes to answering that question… The girls-can-do-anything theme rings loud and clear and is presented with energy in an entertaining format.” — ALA Booklist “Tu-Dean captures the joy of dressing up, friendship, and discovery in her mixed-media art. Fashion is limitless and fun, Toht suggests—but it’s not so much the clothes that matter as the individual underneath.” — Publishers Weekly
