Pink Is for Boys Hardcover – Picture Book, June 5, 2018
Purchase options and add-ons
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. Featuring a diverse group of relatable characters, Pink Is for Boys invites and encourages girls and boys to enjoy what they love to do, whether it's racing cars and playing baseball, or loving unicorns and dressing up. Vibrant illustrations help children learn and identify the myriad colors that surround them every day, from the orange of a popsicle, to the green of a grassy field, all the way up to the wonder of a multicolored rainbow.
Parents and kids will delight in Robb Pearlman's sweet, simple script, as well as its powerful message: life is not color-coded.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"The message doesn't just drive but serves as the whole vehicle for this manifesto against linking gender with particular colors. As a component in a gender-centric storytime, this has a role."―- Booklist

Key Points:
Challenging Stereotypes: Despite what the title might suggest, this book is a celebration of all colors for all children. It wonderfully breaks down the outdated notion that certain colors are meant for specific genders.
Inclusive Message: The story goes beyond just pink and boys. It emphasizes that every color is for everyone, breaking gender norms and encouraging children to embrace their preferences without biases.
Impactful for Kids Facing Teasing: For my son, who was feeling disheartened by peers' comments about his favorite color, this book was a beacon of support. It helped him understand that his choice is valid and nothing to be ashamed of.
Adorable and Engaging: The book is not just about its message; it's also a joy to read. The illustrations are charming, and the narrative is engaging, making it a great read for kids and adults alike.
Conclusion:
'Pink is for Boys' is more than just a children's book; it's a tool for parents and educators to teach inclusivity and acceptance. It stands out as an essential read in today's world where breaking gender stereotypes is crucial for the healthy development of children. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enrich their child's understanding of gender neutrality in a fun and adorable way.
My the time my 8 year old students get to me, they are already ingrained with so many stereotypes and assumptions. This book is amazing. It states a crucial message, simply and clear.
My son, who is almost 7, loves this book. I think it is a safe haven for him. As a kid who cares about his rep, I believe it to be a sanctuary.
My only negative of this book is that it continues the oppression of trans/gender-fluid folks by clearly stating boys and girls, repeatedly.
