Morris Micklewhite and the Tangerine Dress

Written by Christine Baldacchino and illustrated by Isabelle Malenfant, House of Anansi Press (Ages 4-7).

Morris loves his classroom dress-up centre, but his other classmates don’t understand why he loves to wear the tangerine dress. After all, astronauts don’t wear dresses. With the help of his big imagination, Morris spends a sick day drawing the world as he sees it and finds the courage to stay true to himself.
