Product Information

It became evident during the conversation that they had never even considered, for example, a boy wanting to wear a dress, or for that matter, any other challenges to stereotypes.

The support of other creatures in the swamp to put on the show is what makes the story worth the read. However Cliff is told to be himself which is the message of the book, to be yourself, and in the end it is proved that he had nothing to be afraid of all along as, of course, his dad accepts him for who he is.

A delicious book by Alison Green with illustrations and a foreword by Axel Scheffler, plus pictures by 38 international illustrators, to celebrate kindness and humankind. Fun story about acceptance of a crocodile who finds some clothes in the swamp and tries them on and is teased by other animals. Other than that, I try my best to draw every day and dream of one day writing and illustrating my own picture book. Jeanne Willisin ja Stephanie Laberiksen "Kroko mekossa" (Mäkelä, 2019) on suvaitsevaisuuden merkitystä korostava runomuotoinen tarina Aki-krokotiilista, joka haluaisi pukeutua punaiseen mekkoon ja korkkareihin, mutta ei isänsä reaktiota pelätessään oikein uskalla tehdä niin. If you want to do something, but you don’t because you’re worried about what people will say then you aren’t good to your own heart.

The sense of fun is emphasised with the illustrations by Stephanie Laberis which illuminate the narrative and bring the characters to life. And despite the rehearsals going badly wrong, on the night of the performance, Dad just loves the show and declares his son Cliff to be star of the night, whispering to his son, ‘May I have my pearls back now? Jeanne Willis is an award-winning author who has written over 150 books, including The Bog Baby , the Paddington Movie novelisation and Tadpole's Promise .

Pride-teemaan sopiva kuvakirja, jossa pikkukroko haluaisi kulkea mekossa, mutta pelkää isänsä mielipidettä. Next, we are introduced to Dad; he looks like a baddy with a patch over one eye, leather jacket flying as he roars around on his motor bike; none of the other animals dares challenge him. But the mean hyenas laugh at him and tell him to stop dressing like a girly or they’ll go and tell his Dad. Cliff the crocodile discovers a slinky frock and some fabulous peals and heels, and just has to try on the outfit. There are specific pieces for specific body parts; but body parts do NOT define gender, therefore there are no gendered clothing.
