SUMMARY:Vicki Johnson for "Molly's Tuxedo"
DESCRIPTION:About the Book:  \nMolly wants to look her best for picture day at her school\, and what looks better than a tux? Molly’s school picture day is coming up\, and she wants to have a perfect portrait taken to hang on their wall. Her mom has picked out a nice dress for her\, but Molly knows from experience that dresses are trouble. They have tight places and hard-to-reach zippers\, and worst of all\, no pockets! Luckily\, she has the perfect thing to save picture day- her brother’s old tuxedo! But mom doesn’t want her to wear a tuxedo in the photo; she thinks Molly looks best in the dress. Can Molly find the courage to follow her heart and get her mom to realize just how awesome she’d look in a tux? This book highlights a gender nonconforming main character and is published in partnership with GLAAD to accelerate LGBTQ inclusivity and acceptance. \nAbout the Author:  \nVicki Johnson was born and raised in rural Georgia where she spent her days reading\, listening to the radio\, and sweating. She is a Lambda Literary Fellow\, a proud first-generation graduate of Smith College and Emory Law School\, and a student at Vermont College of Fine Arts where she is pursuing her MFA in Writing for Children & Young Adults. Vicki lives in a historic log cabin in West Virginia where she tends to her three cats\, two dogs\, and one college kid. She never wears dresses. Find out more about her at vickijohnsonwrites.com. \n  \nIn person event. \nNo RSVP required. \n
