William's Doll by Charlotte Zolotow

William's Doll by Charlotte Zolotow

"An excellent book about a boy named William who wants the forbidden--a doll. The long-awaited realistic handling of this theme makes it a landmark book."--School Library Journal

More than anything, William wants a doll. "Don't be a creep," says his brother. "Sissy, sissy," chants the boy next door. Then one day someone really understands William's wish, and make it easy for others to understand, too. William gets a doll, so he can learn to be a loving parent someday.

Written by beloved author Charlotte Zolotow and illustrated by Newbery Medal-winning author and Caldecott Honor Book illustrator William Pène du Bois, William's Doll was published in 1972 and was one of the first picture books to deal with gender stereotypes. William's Doll has been welcomed by teachers, librarians, and other caregivers as a springboard for discussion about gender roles and intolerance, whether shared one on one or with groups in a classroom or library setting.

Charlotte Zolotow has written more than seventy-five books for children. Her classic books include The Storm Book, a 1953 Caldecott Honor, Mr. Rabbit and the Lovely Present, a 1963 Caldecott Honor, My Grandson Lew, winner of the 1974 Christopher Medal, and the highly acclaimed William's Doll. Ms. Zolotow lives in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York.
