La falda morada de Leo

I have a soft spot for La falda morada de Leo. Leo wears a skirt, and when he does, people assume that he’s a girl. It’s quite upsetting! Why can’t boys wear skirts? His parents inform him that across the world many men wear skirts and dresses, and that not so long ago, women were not allowed to wear pants.

Jabari trata

If you fell in love with Jabari salta, you’re going to adore Jabari trata. What child does not get frustrated when their project doesn’t turn out just the way they wanted it to? With the help of his father and sister, Jabari learns to keep trying until a joint effort yields the results he was looking for.
