Oliver Button is a Girl

Oliver Button didn't like to do what kids normally do. He didn't play any ball games very well. He loved to draw and read, but what he liked best was dancing. The boys teased him and the girls defended him. One day, someone wrote on the school wall Oliver Button is a girl! However, he decides to pursue his hobby and take dance lessons. One day he dances in the talent show with his shiny tap shoes and, from then on, his life changes to become a star. The author of this book. TOMIE DE PAOLA, has written and illustrated dozens of children's books. He recognizes that many of Oliver Button's problems are things he went through as a child. His real-life experience is conveyed to us in these pages to remind us to be sure of ourselves and to be true to our dreams, even if others don't share them.
