🌈 Pink Is for Boys

A colourful celebration of self-expression and the simple reminder that every colour is for everyone.

Why I chose it

I chose this one because children should feel free to love the colours, toys, clothes, and activities that make them happy—without being told that something is only for boys or only for girls.

Pink is for boys. And girls. And everyone!

From pink bows and blue sports uniforms to purple unicorns, green grass, and colourful rainbows, this playful picture book explores the many colours we see around us while challenging the idea that certain colours belong to a particular gender.

With a diverse cast of children and vibrant illustrations, Pink Is for Boys encourages little ones to express themselves freely and enjoy the world in all its wonderful colours. Written by New York Times bestselling author Robb Pearlman, this accessible picture book offers a simple, empowering message: life is not colour-coded.
