"This is a great one for the beginning of the year or if there's bullying or teasing going on in the classroom. The little boy is confident about being himself, even though he's teased for being a sissy because he likes dancing rather than sports. At the end, it's not Oliver that changes but his family and the people around him. This books lends itself well to making schema connections because most students have had the experience of feeling different from others and/or being teased."
"I put this on my LGBTQ shelf even though the boy isn't necessarily gay. He's just into dancing, so the other boys call him a sissy (and his dad isn't too thrilled with his choice of hobbies, either). The story is a kind of roller coaster of sad and happy (kids are jerks: boo! his mom is awesome: yea!), but the message is simple--just do what you love and hope that people get over it."
"This book is great for showing children that it's okay to be who they are. Oliver Button is a young boy who enjoys drawing pictures and dressing up. He doesn't enjoy doing things that "normal" boys do like playing sports. Other children call him a "sissy" and make fun of him. Oliver stands up to bullies by staying true to himself and not changing who he is. It's okay to be you! This book shows children how to respect eachother's differences."
"Am a big fan of Tomie dePaola. Yes I am. Dan buku ini adalah salah satu bukunya dePaola yang jadi favorit gue. Ehm.. sebenernya, semua bukunya dePaola yang udah gue baca adalah favorit gue. Dan masih banyak lagi yang belum gue baca. Jadi gue belum memutuskan buku mana dari Tomie dePaola yang belum gue baca, yang akan jadi buku yang tidak masuk kedalam kategori favorit gue. Karena gue harus baca lebih banyak lagi bukunya Tomie dePaola. hehehe
Dibuku ini diceritakan bahwa orang-orang yang berani tampil beda pasti akan selalu mengundang kontroversi pada awalnya. Hahaha... berat amat bahasa gue.
Simpelnya sih, kalo dari segi pandang guru Kindergarten, inti ceritanya adalah, kalo ada temen laki-laki kita yang lebih suka main boneka daripada main power rangers-power rangers-an, kita ngga boleh ngatain dia banci. Karena dia masih kecil jadi orientasi seksualnya juga belom keliatan nanti dia gedenya jadi apa. Gak deng. Ga gitu. Tapi bener. Ga boleh ngatain orang, "banci! banci!" hanya karena orang itu lebih suka nari daripada main bola padahal dia laki-laki.
Atau ngatain orang, "bencong! bencong!" hanya karena anak itu lebih suka main tinju-tinjuan dan panjat-panjatan pohon daripada main masak-masakan di rumah..
It is always OK untuk menjadi orang selalu kita inginkan, mengerjakan apa yang ingin kita kerjakan, mencintai apa yang kita ingin cintai, meyakini apa yang kita yakini, dan menjalani hidup seperti apa yang ingin kita jalani. Tomie dePaola mau bilang, bahwa orang yang bahagia, adalah orang yang sudah bisa menentukan untuk melakukan apa yang dia inginkan, sedari kecil. Buktinya, Oliver Button bahagia menjadi dirinya sendiri kan? Dan akan selalu gue doakan, bahwa Oliver Button akan selalu bahagia hingga dia tua, dan selalu tegar menjalani hidup seperti apa yang dia ingikan."
