Be Yourself

<p>Six-year-old Little Jo is happy and he loves to play but not in the usual boyish way. He doesn���t like bats balls and toys on springs but he instead prefers dolls gowns crowns and plush animals with sounds. It���s difficult for Little Jo growing up in a stereotypical world where adults decide and label what constitutes a girl���s toy and what determines the appropriate toy for a little boy.</p><p>His parents try everything to get Little Jo to play with the right toys and to act the right way but it���s his grandmother who sees Little Jo is different and unique from the rest. She gives him a present that is perfect for him.</p><p>Based on a true story <em>Be Yourself</em> by author Jo Mesiti shows children--through words and pictures--that no matter what it���s okay to just be yourself.</p>
