Bookroo's summary

Felix loves wearing skirts, but his classmates' teasing makes school unbearable. Supported by his family, Felix faces a challenge: can they help him express himself freely and teach his peers about acceptance? This heartfelt tale explores the courage to be different and the power of empathy in a world that often resists change.

From the publisher

Felix likes to wear skirts. He thinks they’re fun–plus he likes the way his legs move in them. His family doesn’t mind, but that’s not the case for Felix’s classmates. Their merciless teasing makes him want to give up school for good. Can Felix’s parents come up with a way to validate Felix’s expression, while also teaching the other children a lesson in acceptance? A timely picture book that tackles themes of empathy and tolerance in a world where it’s tough to be different.
