Gr 1-3--Based on a true story, this timely picture book tells the story of Danny, who wants to be a princess for the school parade. Danny sketches a beautiful purple gown and silvery crown and declares, "I'm going to be a princess, just like her." Danny's family are supportive and loving. His little sister coos with approval; Mom affirms her encouragement, saying, "Let's go find your princess dress"; and Grandpa suggests the Nifty Thrifty because they have everything there. At the thrift store, Danny finds a bouncy ruffled purple fabric that might be a shower curtain, but with a few cuts and redesign, it transforms into Danny's princess dress. On parade day, Danny's pineapple-dressed friend declares, "I've never seen a boy princess before." Danny responds, "I've never seen a walking pineapple or a talking butterfly." The child's resilience and ability to affirm his value and uniqueness shine through. Mlawer's expert Spanish translation parallels the English text and invites readers to reflect on the importance of gender diversity in all our communities, including Latino families. Liu-Trujillo's illustrations use warm pastel colors that lend tenderness to this beautiful story of inclusion and love. VERDICT This inclusive bilingual picture book belongs in public and school libraries.--Lettycia Terrones, Los Angeles Public Library
