Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Oliver Button Is a Sissy is a 1979 children's storybook by Tomie dePaola.Oliver Button is a soft-spoken, gentle little boy who doesn't like to do the kinds of activities that boys are expected to do. Instead, he prefers to do quiet activities by himself — taking walks in the woods, reading, drawing, jumping rope, and especially dancing, singing and dressing up. Unfortunately, his male peers mock him for his interests, calling him a "sissy".Nonetheless, Oliver continues to pursue his passions. Finally, he enters a neighborhood talent show, where he performs a spirited dance routine. Everyone is impressed by his skills, and his peers start to see him differently afterward.Republished in 2017. | |

"Gender-Normative Parent" Plot | |
| Oliver Button Is a Sissy / int_ce02c84e | comment |
"Gender-Normative Parent" Plot: Played with. Oliver's dad tries to persuade Oliver to play sports with the other neighborhood boys, even though he's not good at them. Nevertheless, he supports his son's decision to enroll in a dancing school, and congratulates him on his performance at the talent show. Taking both actions into account, it seems that Mr. Button's more worried about Oliver spending too much time doing activities by himself, rather than ashamed of his interests in and of themselves. | |
