DISCO!
by Frauke Angel, Julia Dürr
Description
The little boy has a new friend, Pina. She says there are no colors only for boys or only for girls. And anyone can wear whatever they want. Then once Pina stays overnight and the children dress up because they want to play disco. The next morning, the father brings two beautiful disco dancers to the kindergarten. But a boy in a girl’s dress leads to discussions. After all, the father has an argument with his friend and in the end even the children are angry at each other. Next morning, the father drags a whole sack of clothes to kindergarten - enough for everyone to dress up. Because the kids really want to have a ball, with glitter and bells and whistles. And which colors and which dresses the girls wear and which the boys, is really completely irrelevant.
