nicolemhewitt's review against another edition
5.0
This book has a wonderful message for kids about how we don't have to only be one thing in life. On a rainy day, Parker and her siblings decide to play dress-up, but they soon end up arguing over what "belongs" with the costumes. Mom reminds them that she's both a mom and a writer--and no one needs to be defined by only one aspect of themselves. The kids reaction to this revelation is very fun---they go a bit crazy with their dress-up and explore lots of different careers and identities! (Mermaid-teacher? Why not?) The illustrations are vivid and playful--just like the book--and the language is perfect for Level-One readers. And the final page features Black fashion designers!
