Ten thousand dresses is a lot of dresses, but Bailey has a lot of imagination. Every single night she dreams up a different, wonderful dress. One night she dreams of a dress made of sparkling crystals. The next night she dreams of a dress made of real lilies and roses. The next night she dreams of a dress made of windows, which show her places from all over the world!
Bailey wants to wear these dresses in real life, but she has a problem. When she asks her parents about them, they say, “You’re a boy. Boys don’t wear dresses!” But Bailey doesn’t feel like a boy. She feels like a girl. When she tells her big brother about her dreams, he is mean to her. What is she supposed to do?
10,000 Dresses is a great book for any kid who has ever felt a little bit different. Everybody needs friends who will accept them for who they are. When Bailey meets another little girl named Laurel, it looks as if she has finally found someone who thinks her ideas for dresses are awesome. Will Laurel help Bailey make her dream of dresses come true? You will have to read 10,000 Dresses to find out!
