When a girl needs a new outfit for a special holiday party, she chooses comfort over tradition.
Ava does not love dresses. They poke and pinch, squish and squash. They just do not feel good to her. But after Ava and her family are invited to a quinceañera celebration, her mother thinks they need to go shopping for a new dress. Ava's mother loves dresses--fancy dresses, swishy dresses, dresses of all kinds.
I want to dance in pants, says Ava. Nonsense! says her mother. And off they go to shop.
After trying on dress (too itchy) after dress (too poofy) after dress (too silly), Ava finally finds what she does want to wear. It's a bright and sparkly tuxedo pantsuit. It's perfect! Her mother tells her that she will be the only girl not wearing a dress. And that's just fine with Ava. But what happens when they get to the party?
Brought to life through energetic, colorful artwork, this story serves as a reminder to readers of all ages to be comfortable in their own skin (and especially in their clothes).
