Bookroo's summary

Leo loves costumes, from pirate to superhero, but when he wears a lavender skirt, he's mistaken for a girl. Frustrated, he questions why clothing should define us. Can he challenge these norms?

From the publisher

A reflection about the traditions and divisions between boy and girl’s clothing. Why can’t we dress as we like? Leo loves to wear costumes: pirate, superhero, knight… he also likes to put on a lavender skirt, but the day he decided to go out with it, someone mistakes him for a girl. He gets very angry. Can’t a boy play and put on a skirt? Years ago, girls weren´t allowed to wear pants…También disponible en español. (Also available in Spanish.)
