10,000 Dresses by Marcus Ewert

• Plot Summary: Every night, Bailey dreams about magical dresses: dresses made of crystals and rainbows, dresses made of flowers, dresses made of windows. . . . Unfortunately, when Bailey's awake, no one wants to hear about these beautiful dreams. Quite the contrary. "You're a BOY!" Mother and Father tell Bailey. "You shouldn't be thinking about dresses at all." Then Bailey meets Laurel, an older girl who is touched and inspired by Bailey's imagination and courage. In friendship, the two of them begin making dresses together. And Bailey's dreams come true! This gorgeous picture book—a modern fairy tale about becoming the person you feel you are inside—will delight people of all ages.

• This is the story of a trans-girl with a very unsupportive family who dreams of fantastical dresses. Although everyone insists that Bailey is a boy and that boys don’t wear dresses, the book consistently uses she/her pronouns for Bailey. The only supportive character is Laurel, an older girl who helps sew Bailey’s fantasy dresses.
