Travis sets no limits to what he enjoys doing. Shopping and football, ballet and dress-up make Travis a one of a kind boy! But when some of the kids on the playground begin to pick on him, Travis truly dazzles. This empowering story encourages both boys and girls to challenge the social norm, revealing their true selves.
(book blurb) Yes, boys can love glitter and pink, and shopping, and ballet dancing!!! Yes, girls can be anything they want: mechanics, astrophysicists, and Sumo wrestlers! I just loved Travis and his courage in standing up to unjust critics and bullies. Occasionally you meet a child who can do it not only for themselves, but also for others, and then you are moved and changed for better by their refusal to accept prejudice and silly limitations. An important book to read to and discuss with children to help them discover their own interests and inclinations as well as respecting and supporting others.
