Unwrapping Some Fabulous Illustrations for You to Enjoy
The Book
Patrick is enamoured with his purple polka-dotted tights.
"Patrick's tights were perfect and purple and had tiny polka-dots that stretched into ovals when he pulled them."
Being a creative and imaginative little boy he finds so many ways to play and use them with his out-of-the-box thinking. The problem? They really belong to his sister Penelope. He thinks that Penelope doesn't deserve them because the only time she wants them is when she does her stupid old piano recitals. Unfair!

Patrick uses them to play dress - up, at night to keep the chilly air from tickling his toes, to rescue bears from drowning in the sea, for taking his hot dog for a walk, and as a bandana when he goes on a fantastic motorcycle adventure, just to name a few.
This delightful book encourages kids to be unique and true to themselves. Patrick lives in a family that is open to his explorations and creative imagination. When his beloved purple polka-dotted leotards meet a tragedy his dad, sensing how much Patrick loved them, replaces the soiled pair with three pair of his son's very own. Everyone is on board to encourage Patrick and put his happiness first. The illustrations are are so well done and Patrick is an adorable and loveable character. I highly recommend this book.
