Zinnia is the only pink person in a very gold world. After being told that pink stinks by a golden bully, she goes on a quest to get rid of her pink for good. Along the way, Zinnia learns a valuable lesson. Will she embrace her unique pink, or will she change to be just like everyone else?
Review:
This was a really cute book! I was a huge fan of the art in this book and I especially loved the colors. It never felt like too much.
This is an important story for young kids. Zinnia feels different from the others because she's pink and not gold. She gets bullied for this and it eventually leads her on a journey of discovery.
This book also feels good for little children because of the length. It's short enough where you can hold the kids attention but not too short where it feels over too quick.
This book teaches children that it's okay to be themselves but also not to judge others because they might be different. I found this to be a pleasant read even while not being the intended age group.
