Add Some Pink To Your Summer Reading…And A Giveaway!

*Disclaimer* I received the items in the post for review. All opinions are my own. The post may contain affiliate links.

It’s nearly summer “vacation” for many of us and our kiddos will be home daily and looking for anything and everything to keep them occupied. Although I am a big believer in play outside until you need to hydrate, go or eat, there are some rainy days that require some inside time. We’re a big family of readers and we love not only adding books to our family library but topics that we can all discuss together. I think Pink is for Boys is a great book to start conversations with some of the youngest in the family.

With the help of a diverse cast of characters, Pearlman takes readers through the entire spectrum of the rainbow – from pink party dresses to blue baseball uniforms, green grass to brown teddy bears – demonstrating to young readers that gender does not dictate their favorite color or beloved hobby: boys can wear pink and girls can drive racecars. Pink is for boys . . . and girls . . . and everyone! This timely and beautiful picture book rethinks and reframes the stereotypical blue/pink gender binary and empowers kids-and their grown-ups-to express themselves in every color of the rainbow.  Pearlman’s message is delivered in cheerful and accessible prose, paired with Kaban’s vibrant and endearing illustrations. Each page becomes increasingly colorful, teaching little ones their colors and culminating in a beautiful rainbow on the final page. Every scene invites imagination, as well as imparting this valuable lesson to children and parents alike.

Uplifting and empowering, Pink is for Boys inspires readers to color outside the lines.

About the Author: Robb Pearlman is the author of many books, including Groundhog’s Day Off, Raggedy Ann and Andy: Leaf Dance and Passover is Here!. Today, his favorite color is blue, but it may purple tomorrow! He grew up in New York City and now lives in a white and green house in New Jersey with his husband and Oscar, the butterscotch-colored best puppy in the world.

About the Illustrator: Eda Kaban was born and raised in Turkey and has had a passion for drawing, reading, and monkey bars since a young age. She is the illustrator on a number of books and when she’s not drawing, you can find her climbing rocks or biking the hills of the Bay area. She and her husband live in Oakland, California.
