Summary
Charlie loves the bright red purse that his grandmother let him have. One day, he decides to take it to school. First his father, then his friends, and even the crossing guard question him about his "strange" choice. After all,… boys don't carry purses. They point out that they, too, have things they like, but that doesn't mean they go out in public wearing them. But Charlie isn't deterred. Before long, his determination to carry a purse starts to affect those around him: his father puts on his favourite Hawaiian shirt for work; his friend Charlotte paints her face, and the crossing guard wears a pair of sparkly shoes. Grades K-3. 2017.
