John had to share his gift with the school and he was very nervous. John's talent was a dance but not just any dance it was ballet. The students were confused at first and laughed at John. The students soon saw what John was doing was beautiful and impressive. This is a great book to show the class because it teaches students not to judge something they might actually like too quickly, ( )

At John's school, on Friday assembly, there is something called Sharing Gifts (the kids don't like the name, but love the program). Today is John's turn to share his talent - dance. He's nervous (about performing, and about audience reaction), but the audience (the story is told in the second person plural) rises to the occasion with a standing ovation. ( )

A glimpse into how happy and healthy our world would be if we'd ditch the nonsense that is gender-essentialist thinking. This is a sweet book by Mac Barnett that will teach its young readers to embrace whatever hobbies or interests they feel passionate about.
