Pride Month 2023 Read #1.
3.5, rounded up to 4. Great book for kids - and GROWNUPS, as well! - and a VERY quick read. However, as someone else on GR pointed out, it's a bit strange that the "heroes" are all male, and the "villains" are all female. Happy Pride, everyone!!

dante spins tales of wicked queens as he spins around in equally wicked gowns. trying on various personas, he finds the confidence to move from playing alone in his bedroom to playing outside with friends when he finds just the right dress, one that truly fits and makes him feel unstoppable. the story is fun, the style is fierce, and dante is fabulous! a sweet addition to LGBTQIA+ literature for young people (and their loved ones) that supports them in their process of becoming who they know themselves to be.
a big thank you to edelweiss and albert whitman & company for this digital ARC.
