review 1: Kudos to Christine Baldacchino for being brave, for following her heart, and for exploring a topic that few people dared to talk about. Morris is a preschool boy who loves tangerine dresses because they remind him of his mother's hair, the sun, and the tiger. He also loves to wear shoes that go "click, click, click." This is a book that one might consider controversial, but it's also the kind of book that has so much heart in it. Morris will remind readers about embracing one's identity and having the unshakeable courage of being different. Beautiful illustrations by Isabelle Malenfant.
review 2: Morris loves the dress up corner at school. The tangerine dress is his favorite. It reminds him of tigers...and his mom's beautiful hair. The kids at school make f... moreun of Morris and eventually he stays home because he hates the way people make fun of him. A great story about acceptance. It's great to get such a simple reminder that we are all human and the differences we have are what make us unique. less
