Program Description

Event Details

Join us for the virtual launch of Carrie Firestone's middle grade debut, Dress Coded. Eleni Kavros DeGraw will moderate a conversation with the author, followed by a Q&A session.

 

Molly Frost is FED UP…

Because Olivia was yelled at for wearing a tank top when she had to keep her sweatshirt wrapped around her waist. 
Because Liza got dress coded and Molly didn’t, even though they were wearing the exact same outfit. 
Because when Jessica was pulled over by the principal and missed a math quiz, her teacher gave her an F. 
Because it’s impossible to find shorts that are longer than her fingertips. 
Because girls’ bodies are not a distraction. 
Because middle school is hard enough.

And so Molly starts a podcast where girls can tell their stories, and soon her small rebellion swells into a revolution. Because now the girls are standing up for what’s right, and they’re not backing down.

 

Do you have your own stories of being dress coded? Share your story here. The author will select stories to share during the event.
