Mary Wears What She Wants in Bloomington, MN

From the award-winning creator of
My Dad Used to Be So Cool
and
Tough Guys Have Feelings Too
comes a charming picture book inspired by the true story of Mary Edwards Walker, a trailblazing 19th-century
doctor who was arrested many times for wearing pants
.
Once upon a time (but not
that
long ago), girls only wore dresses. And only boys wore pants.
Until one day, a young girl named Mary had an idea: She would wear whatever she wanted. And she wanted to wear pants!
This bold, original picture book encourages readers to think for themselves while gently challenging gender and societal norms.
