I love the unequivocal support that Frankie gets from their family. There is no discussion about Frankie wanting a suit versus the three dresses laid out for them to choose from. Frankie keeps their wishes to themself, but there is a friendly dog to save the day. The family makes Frankie suit and helps them dress so that when they look in the mirror at themselves they are happy. Simple yet so definitely needed for kids.
Hayley Wells' illustration keeps the mood light with a bright yellow and no overtones of darkness or negativity. Kat Patrick keeps the message clear and easy for kids and everyone else. I love it.
I received a free copy of this book and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.
