Oliver Button is a babe

"Oliver Button was called babe. He didn't like to do the things that boys are supposed to do. He liked to play in the woods and jump rope. He liked to read books and draw pictures" Oliver is different: he enjoys nature and reading, plays with paper dolls and loves dressing up to sing and, above all, dance. His father would like him to play sports, but his lack of ability to exercise causes other children at school to marginalize him, make fun of him and bully him. "Oliver Button is a girl", they have come to paint on a wall in the school. Author: dePaola, Tomie | Illustrator: dePaola, Tomie
