THE DRESS IN THE WINDOW by Robert Tregoning & Pippa Curnick

AUTHOR:  Robert Tregoning

ILLUSTRATOR:  Pippa Curnick

 

When a little boy walks past a shop and sees a dress sparkling in the window, he dreams of wearing it. But the world around him insists that dresses are not for boys. With tenderness and courage, he imagines what it would feel like to step into that beautiful dress - and slowly, the possibility of being truly himself begins to shine.

Written by Robert Tregoning and brought to life with Pippa Curnick’s vibrant, expressive illustrations, THE DRESS IN THE WINDOW is a joyful and empowering picture book about self-expression, identity, and celebrating who you are. It’s a story that encourages children to follow their hearts, embrace their uniqueness, and see beauty in being different.

This uplifting book opens conversations about gender expression, acceptance, and the freedom to be yourself. A warm, inclusive read that will inspire children to wear their true colours proudly.
