“I’m not wearing boy’s clothes, I’m wearing my clothes” — Mary. 

Teach children that they can be the change! (This book also includes a supportive father.) Set historically this is a great book to teach about social justice and being who they are. Mary decides to wear pants one day because dresses just aren’t comfortable.  The community becomes angry but she stands her ground.
This book was inspired by the doctor and change-maker Mary Edwards Walker
