It does this with a light touch that captures perfectly the warm and love-centric logic at the heart of the story: 'My friend, why sit there worrying about "What if? Jeanne has also worked on scripts for TV, including POLLY POCKET and THE SLOW NORRIS, and a pilot TV series for DR XARGLE.

It became evident during the conversation that they had never even considered, for example, a boy wanting to wear a dress, or for that matter, any other challenges to stereotypes. And despite the rehearsals going badly wrong, on the night of the performance, Dad just loves the show and declares his son Cliff to be star of the night, whispering to his son, ‘May I have my pearls back now? There are specific pieces for specific body parts; but body parts do NOT define gender, therefore there are no gendered clothing. By the inky, stinky swamp where no one ever goes, Cliff the little crocodile found a pile of clothes. Pride-teemaan sopiva kuvakirja, jossa pikkukroko haluaisi kulkea mekossa, mutta pelkää isänsä mielipidettä.
