9. Annie's Plaid Shirt

 9


Annie's Plaid Shirt by Stacy B. Davids, 
illustrated by Rachel Balsatis

This inspiring children’s picture book is a Next Generation Indie Book Awards Finalist, Foreword Reviews' INDIES Book of the Year Awards winner and the Mom's Choice Awards® GOLD Recipient.

Written by a licensed clinical psychologist, school psychologist, and former special education teacher Dr. Stacy B. Davids, who herself yanked pink bows out of her hair as a child, this is a tale of a typical tomboy, a child born a girl, who feels uncomfortable in a dress, but loves wearing her Plaid shirt everywhere.. 

One day, Annie’s mum tells her she must wear a dress to her uncle’s wedding, and even takes Annie and her brother clothes shopping to buy a gender-conforming suit for him, and also  dress for her… Annie has never felt comfortable wearing a dress, it makes her feel strange and unhappy!  Will her mother ever understand? Is this a touching tale of parental acceptance and compromise, and celebrating Annie’s individuality?

Annie then has a creative idea, will her mother understand her wish?

Wonderfully illustrated by children’s book illustrator Rachael Balsaitis

Reading age 3-8 years old.
