Bookroo's summary
Dennis is not like other boys, and his secret is hidden in plain sight. When his love for dresses is discovered, it sets off a chain of events that challenge societal norms and redefine friendship. Will Dennis find acceptance in a world that demands conformity, or will his courage inspire others to embrace their true selves? This heartwarming tale of identity and bravery promises laughter and tears as Dennis navigates the complexities of being different.
