A mother and her ‘princess boy’

The World

?My princess boy: a mom’s story about a young boy who loves to dress up? is a new children’s book which is being used by some schools to prevent bullying and to encourage the acceptance of others who don’t fit into the traditional mainstream.

We speak with author, Cheryl Kilodavis about her son Dyson, whom she says first coined the term, ?Princess Boy.? Kilodavis shares her personal experience of coming to terms with her five-year old son and his interest in playing with girls’ dress-up clothes.
