William's Doll is a 1972 picture book by Charlotte Zolotow, one of the first children's texts to address nontraditional gender stereotypes. The story follows William, a young boy who wishes for a doll to care for. William's father is unhappy with his request, instead giving William toys that he considers to be more gender appropriate. Finally, William's grandmother fulfills William's request, explaining to William's father that the doll will allow for William to practice good parenting.

has abstract	William's Doll is a 1972 picture book by Charlotte Zolotow, one of the first children's texts to address nontraditional gender stereotypes. The story follows William, a young boy who wishes for a doll to care for. William's father is unhappy with his request, instead giving William toys that he considers to be more gender appropriate. Finally, William's grandmother fulfills William's request, explaining to William's father that the doll will allow for William to practice good parenting. Zolotow cites personal observations about the relationship between her husband and son as inspiration for the book. She believes that denying young boys access to certain toys and absences of early interaction between father and child are destructive to expression and relationship formation. The book often is used in the classroom for lessons on gender roles, intolerance, or general anti-bias education. To counterbalance inherent micro-inequalities in the classroom, William's Doll is employed as a method through which educators expose students to the concept of sex-stereotyping. While exposure through children's literature has been employed by many marginalized populations, representations of males such as William with traditionally female characteristics have not been as easily welcomed. Many educators, for example, object to using texts representing gender-role reversal in the classroom, whereas others promote it, recognizing the critical role schools play in childhood identity and sexuality development. A song based on the story was included in the 1972 best-selling Free to Be... You and Me children's album and songbook. In 1981, William's Doll also became a 14-minute film starring Craig Salles.
