Descripción: Review"Plants the seed of deconstructing the color pink’s gendered associations ... Illustrated winningly in textured spreads.""An inspirational ode to inclusion, acceptance, and diversity ... This utterly delightful picture book teaches readers of all ages the importance of being who you are while also reminding them that pink is for everybody.""Russell cleverly circumvents the gender binary that some readers may expect with a title like this, focusing instead on color and imagination; the illustrations are playful, funny, and fanciful. Pink is for everybody! And so is this book." ― School Library JournalA joyful celebration of self-expression and uniquenessA group of kids is stuck inside on a rainy day, and they’re feeling gloomy … until they discover a pink treasure chest! Inside they find a collection of items that turn their gray day into a playground of pink. Pink is for painters and palace-dwellers, aliens and astronauts, dancers and dragons! In a parade of exuberance that celebrates all things pink, one surly cat stands apart and teaches the kids a gentle lesson about choosing what you love, no matter who you are, while respecting the unique preferences of everybody around you.This uplifting ode to self-expression goes beyond the binary expectations of gender to emphasize the importance of creativity and acceptance. It invites readers into a welcoming space where different clothing, toys, and colors are enjoyed by all. With a diverse cast of kids and inclusive, gender-neutral language, this book encourages children to embrace their true colors.From School Library JournalPreS-Gr 1-On a gray, rainy day, a group of kids explore a big pink dress-up chest. Each kid finds a way to incorporate the color pink into their imaginative play, whether they are being astronauts, aliens, dancers, or dragons. One child is in a wheelchair, two wear glasses, one has dark skin and hair in two puffs, one appears Asian, one has red hair and freckles, etc. This diverse group draws a simple conclusion: pink is for anybody who likes pink! Pink is not for anybody who doesn't like pink-in this case, only the cat, who prefers a green tie to match its eyes. Russell cleverly circumvents the gender binary that some readers may expect with a title like this, focusing instead on color and imagination; the illustrations are playful, funny, and fanciful.
