In a schoolyard encounter, a boy critiques a girl's dress, sparking a playful verbal duel. Their banter escalates until they find common ground, resulting in a friendship fueled by honesty and complicity. "I Don’t Like Your Dress" navigates the complex ways we show interest in others, highlighting how embarrassment and awkwardness can obscure our true feelings. The book also celebrates the boundless imagination of children and their creative inventiveness.
