Mary Wears What She Wants
What's This Book About
Once upon a time (but not too long ago), girls only wore dresses. And only boys wore pants. Until one day, a young girl named Mary had a bold idea: She would wear whatever she wanted. And she wanted to wear pants! Inspired by the true story of Mary Edwards Walker, a trailblazing doctor who was arrested many times for wearing pants, this fresh, charming picture book encourages readers to think for themselves while gently challenging gender and societal norms.

I love the story, and I love the pictures! The message of this book is great - it's okay, and even a good thing, to challenge societal norms. The overall design of the book is wonderful too--it's so fun to look at!
