Summary: This book is written from the perspective of a mother, describing her Princess Boy and all of the things he loves.  This Princess Boy loves his brother, climbing trees in a tiara, and dancing in a green leotard.  The mother tells of a time when her Princess Boy wore a dress to his birthday party, and dressed up as a princess for Halloween.  Once, he was laughed at by a woman because he was wearing a dress.  His mother told him that some people don’t think boys should wear dresses, but he will not be laughed at by her.  Kilodavis asks the reader if they see a Princess Boy, what will they do?  Will the reader laugh and call him a name, or will they play with him and like him for who he is?
