Those who have challenged the book claim that it will encourage boys to wear dresses—to which Brinda replied, “That’s the point. If it’s giving them the idea, that’s great. I personally don’t see why it needs to be banned, or why it’s important to shield that from children. If it’s a lifestyle you’re not comfortable with, then you don’t have to surround yourself with those kinds of people.

ISBN 978-0-8050-9390-2. Pulled from the Hudson Park Elementary School library in Rainier, Oreg. Officials with the Rainier School District noted the title is on the state-approved list of books allowed at the school, but in a letter sent home to parents the school’s principal stated the books had been inappropriately passed out to fourth-graders in the library. “Procedures have been put into place to make sure this doesn’t happen again. All questionable books have been pulled from library shelves,” the principal wrote in the letter. The book has received awards from at least ten distinguished publications, including Publisher’s Weekly and School Library Journal (both named it as a “Best Book of the Year”), the American Library Association and the New York Times (both named it as a “Notable Book of the Year”), and the San Francisco Chronicle (listed among “The Century’s Best Children’s Books”). Not many people know that. This is my Michael Caine impression. You see, Mike's always quoting from the Guinness Book of Records. At the drop of a hat he'll trot one out. 'Did you know that it takes a man in a tweed suit five-and-a-half seconds to fall from the top of Big Ben to the ground?' Now there's not many people who know that! [95] While one could say that it’s a story about gender identity, this sweet, affectionate story makes clear that the ones doing the identifying aren’t Morris. It’s his classmates who are policing “the rules,” and it fills them with fear and confusion that there should be a boy at their school who likes wearing a tangerine dress and nail polish, just when they’re all set to embrace rigid divisions between gender roles.
