📚 Dresses Are for Messes by Elizabeth Pulsford is a fun and playful story that follows Tess, who would much prefer to play in a tulle dress than a t-shirt. It reminds children (and parents) that it’s okay to get messy while learning, exploring and having fun!
The story celebrates creativity as Tess enjoys shell collecting, bug inspecting and getting stuck into every activity, all while rocking her dress and her confident “Yes, I can!” attitude. ✨
The book ends with Tess in a shirt and shorts because it’s laundry day, showing that clothes can always be cleaned, but the memories made while playing and exploring are priceless!
