There is so much to love in this colourful and uniquely illustrated story. The dedication reads 'For absolutely everyone - including my younger self' - Kat Patrick. This is a well-paced story about inclusion and acceptance - both of ourselves and others. Frankie has a big birthday party coming up, and they want a very special suit but they don't know how to ask for it. Luckily for Frankie their mother and siblings know just how to grant Frankie's secret wish. We follow Frankie through their self doubt all the way to wearing the spectacular suit to the party which is a huge success. This is an unusual story in that we get a glimpse of Frankie's inner world and her worry about how to be herself. This is a fabulous story to explore conversations around gender identity and self.
