About this product

Product Information

Every night, Bailey dreams about magical dresses: dresses made of crystals and rainbows, dresses made of flowers, dresses made of windows. . . . Unfortunately, when Bailey's awake, no one wants to hear about these beautiful dreams. Quite the contrary. "You're a BOY!" Mother and Father tell Bailey. "You shouldn't be thinking about dresses at all." Then Bailey meets Laurel, an older girl who is touched and inspired by Bailey's imagination and courage. In friendship, the two of them begin making dresses together. And Bailey's dreams come true! This gorgeous picture book--a modern fairy tale about becoming the person you feel you are inside--will delight people of all ages.

Reviews
"I had a graduate student come up to my reference desk the other day asking for picture books where the characters acted out non-traditional gender roles. When this happens (and it happens more than you would think) I tend to begin with the stories that can be interpreted multiple ways, like The Story of Ferdinand . Then I pluck out The Paper Bag Princess , Elena's Serenade , and William's Doll . The piece de resistance is our very special copy of X: A Fabulous Child's Story which you will not find circulating in just any library system, thank you very much. However, the book I most wanted to show off was 10,000 Dresses ."-- School Library Journal "If you are a member of an LGBT family with young children, or the friend or ally of an LGBT family with young children, and want to expose your children to what the broad LGBT community looks like, you need to expose yourself and these children to the picture book 10,000 Dresses ."-- Pam's House Blend "Bailey may continue to inspire families in new ways with her bravery and artistic vision."-- Bay Windows , New England's Largest GLBT Newspaper "Bailey is a wonderful creation, but then again so are the dresses she dreams up; the illustrations by Rex Ray have a sleek, artful look."-- Edge Boston "Marcus Ewert's 10,000 Dresses is a joyous book about self-acceptance and identity. It is also the only children's picture book that features an openly transgender protagonist, and does so with both sensitivity and celebration."-- Philadelphia Gay News "It is a wonderful story that lets you see the world through the eyes of a gender variant child."--Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) Newsletter "Great for any kid who knows someone who is different or who may feel a little different themselves sometimes."-- Rainbow Rumpus "This charming book offers a subtle and touching approach to introducing kids to the maze of gender identity." -- GT/Gaytimes (UK), "[...] my own favorite (and one of my daughters' favorite) books about being a "gender variant" kid, 10,000 Dresses by Marcus Ewert. Bailey is a little girl whose family are all convinced that she is a boy. At night she dreams of beautiful dresses and by day she tries to share her visions with the world. Her family all refuse to listen, but in the end, she meets someone who understands and together they make her dream designs come true." --Lesbian Family "I loved the way the author referred to Bailey as "her" throughout the book, which struck me as a simple way to introduce children to this topic." -- Unshelved, "Three cheers for Bailey, whose creativity and artistic vision will inspire readers of all ages to celebrate exactly who they are." --Leslea Newman, author of Heather Has Two Mommies "My own favorite (and one of my daughters' favorite) books about being a 'gender variant' kid, 10,000 Dresses by Marcus Ewert.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • One of the worst books I ever read.

    I've read a lot of really bad books, but I think this one takes the cake. I mean, the author writes about Bailey making dresses with Laurel, but what happens when Bailey comes back home and has to deal with his family? There's no mention of that. All you hear about Bailey's family is transphobia this and transphobia that. There's nothing much positive about that family environment. The only person accepting of Bailey is Laurel. But that's where the story ends. Not a book I would recommend to LGBT families, or to anyone in favor of tolerance.
