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: We can always tell when a book is going to be a hit at our home because our preschooler will ask us right away to read it to her. Anything but Pink teaches us to diregard others’ opinions and especially to ignore bullies. Zinnia is born pink in a gold world and is told “Pink Stinks.” She’s on a journey to find out that pink is unique and it’s okay to be different from the world. With bright illustrations,and a great message, it’s a perfect read aloud. It’s okay to be who you are!

Do you get teased by others for being a weirdo, a geek, a nerd or a bookworm? Friends, families and neighbours around Li-Na felt it was affectionate to tease her for her not-so-girly hobbies and clothing. Li-Na is about a little girl who refused to be stereotyped. It is a story that encourages kids to be kids until they are ready to be who they want to be. Li Na Is My Name is a book that is as relevant then as it is now. Wishing Li Na’s spirit, grit and resilience to all children. Love the way she stays true to herself. Let’s spread this so all children love themselves for just who they are.

Review:

“This engaging tale encourages resistance to gender stereotypes and highlights the power of discomfiting labels.” Kirkus
