Young Casey loves sparkly things, just like his older sister, who does not approve until an encounter with teasing bullies helps her learn to accept and respect Casey for who he is.

I am so proud to share a project that our PTO has been working tirelessly on—we purchased over 100 diverse books to provide in our classrooms and we‘re working on a thoughtful roll out where the teachers will have plenty of education and tools on how to introduce and discuss these texts in the classroom. We‘re collaborating with our school‘s climate committee and principal and I‘m so excited to see how this all unfolds in the next few months!

I‘m glad that there are more books out there for young kids that address gender stereotypes and non-conformity. I thought it realistically portrayed the sister being uncomfortable with her little brother who likes sparkly things, but while I was glad she stood up for him in the end, I found it a bit cliched that she came to accept him after she has to defend him from bullies.
