MARY WEARS WHAT SHE WANTS - BALZER AND BRAY
Inspired by the true story of Mary Edwards Walker, a trailblazing 19th-century doctor who was arrested many times for wearing pants, comes a charming picture book from the award-winning creator of My Dad Used to Be So Cool and Tough Guys Have Feelings Too.

 “This story challenges young readers to think for themselves.”

“The example of following one's inner compass and bucking the status quo comes across loud and clear. An endearing delivery of a valuable message.”

“An empowering story... Sure to elicit cheers.”
-Booklist

“Negley's book becomes more of a celebration of strong-willed girls with sartorial preferences... Absolutely gorgeous and inspiring.”
