Morris has a great imagination. He paints amazing pictures and he loves his classroom’s dress-up center, especially the tangerine dress. It reminds him of tigers, the sun and his mother’s hair. The other children don’t understand: dresses, they say, are for girls. And Morris certainly isn’t welcome in the spaceship his classmates are building — astronauts, they say, don’t wear dresses.
