Danny Dutterhuff Plays with Dolls
Danny Dutterhuff Plays with Dolls is about a boy who’s teased for bringing a doll to show-and-tell.
“There are different kinds of bravery.”
When Danny’s teacher tells the kindergarten class that they can bring their favorite toy for show-and-tell, Danny knows exactly who he is going to bring. But there is a problem.
Danny Dutterhuff’s favorite toy is a doll named, Ms. Frannie Fantastic. She is his best friend, but Danny’s only allowed to play with her at home. And he has…until now.
Danny sneaks his beloved toy to school only to be confronted by classroom bullies who teach Danny the rule:
Girls can play with boy toys, but boys cannot play with girl toys.
Devastated, Danny decides to bring a “boy toy” to Friday’s show-and-tell when his older brother, Marcus, teaches Danny three magic words that change his life forever.
The hardest thing is not only finding yourself, but having the courage to BE yourself!
While reading this heartwarming story you’ll question: What would you do if you were in Danny’s shoes? What HAVE you done when faced with this type of challenge? What do you hope your child would do if they witnessed or experienced this?
Perfect for homes, classrooms, libraries, and even businesses, this tiny story can spark big discussions and big changes!
