BILL'S NEW FROCK by Anne Fine
PAPERBACK
Author: Anne Fine
What would happen if you woke up one morning and everything about you had suddenly changed?
When Bill Simpson opens his eyes one day, he discovers something unbelievable - he has turned into a girl. And to make matters worse, his mum insists he goes to school wearing a frilly pink dress!
Bill hopes the strange situation will somehow fix itself quickly. But first he has to survive an entire school day. As he navigates lessons, playground games and classroom expectations, Bill begins to notice that people treat him very differently now.
Through a series of funny, awkward and eye-opening moments, Bill starts to realise that being a girl can come with challenges he had never thought about before.
Why you should treat-your-shelf:
- A humorous and thought-provoking story about seeing the world from a new perspective
- Short chapters and accessible language, perfect for developing readers
- Encourages empathy and discussion about fairness and gender expectations
- Written by a celebrated children’s author known for witty storytelling
Bill’s New Frock is a clever, funny and memorable story that encourages readers to think about how we treat others - and what it really means to walk in someone else’s shoes.
