A buoyant and heartwarming celebration of individuality, identity, and dressing to suit yourself!
It’s almost Frankie’s birthday and everything is ready ― except for something to wear. All of her party dresses feel wrong. Her family tries to help, but it’s no good.
What Frankie longs for is a suit. A spectacular suit …
Can Frankie find the outfit of her dreams?
- The perfect gift for birthday parties, crafters, and children who don’t identify with traditional gender roles
- Wonderful conversation starter for teachers and librarians to explore gender and identity with age-relevant material from creators whose life experience is reflected in the story
‘From Kat Patrick, author of Doodle Cat and Howl, comes a gorgeous picture book about the nervous joy of expressing yourself through clothing and the strength that comes with family support. Finding the perfect look (especially one with such strong Bowie vibes) for your own party can be incredibly empowering, and The Spectacular Suit also plays with gender in the same, delightful way that children do. Artist Hayley Wells’s picture book debut is warmly illustrated in a limited colour palette, creating a cohesive story world … While this story is a great one for sharing with children from the age of three, when the desire to choose your own outfit really begins to take hold, it could be perfect for those well into primary school, when individuality and identity begin to take on more significance.’
Michael Earp, Books+Publishing
‘This is a vibrant, charming book about how clothes can make you feel special and the importance of wearing the clothes that reflect your identity. The digital illustrations are gorgeous and dynamic and make the story really sing. It’s a delightful book.’
Angela Crocombe, Manager of Readings Kids
‘Immensely charming … A delightful, affirming story about finding your unique look without reducing it to simplistic, black-and-white, or reductive ideas about gender presentation. One of a kind.’
Kirkus Reviews
‘[A] great addition to the growing LGBTQIA+ picture book collection … Specifically give it to kids who see themselves or see others in their lives who may not follow traditional gender roles or may be questioning their own gender identity. Read-alike with Julián is a Mermaid.’
Sarah Bickel, Youth Services Book Review
