Purchase options and add-ons

An empowering and educational picture book that proves colors are for everyone, regardless of gender.

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

"[C]haracters are bundles of mischievous, untrammeled energy, with mouths wide open in expressions of infectious and very toothy joy."―Publishers Weekly

"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

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2024
As a parent, I'm always on the lookout for books that not only entertain but also impart valuable lessons. 'Pink is for Boys' caught my eye at a time when my 6-year-old son was facing ridicule at school for his love of the color pink. This book turned out to be a delightful and significant addition to our reading routine.

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 It wonderfully breaks down the outdated notion that certain colors are meant for specific genders.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.

I originally bought this book for my 1 year old son but it happened to arrive around the same time that my 3 year old daughter started saying “pink is for girls” that she likely heard at daycare. It’s so sweet and such an amazing message for ALL children (and adults!). All about inclusivity and acceptance!

Great book! Beautifully illustrated and a cute way to go through colors. My daughter loves it and has already asked me to read it a dozen times and will read it to her stuffed animals. Not sure what is so controversial about this book- the message is simple: colors are for everyone.

The Illustrations in this books are EXCELLENT!!! My 3 yo has fallen so in love with this book, they have it memorized and "reads" it all the time. I wanted a book that would reaffirm my children's love of all the things they love without scaring them about what other people think. This book delivers just that and more. And unicorns. Because unicorns!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Wonderful Story for Children
Reviewed in Canada on March 8, 2023
This book was a wonderful story touching on inclusivity. It tells how colours are not for specific genders but for everyone to enjoy. I will be reading this to my grandchildren over and over again. It's astonishing that some places have banned this book, but that led me to buy it. So that that children in those places will not be able to enjoy this lovely book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Baby boy loves it
Reviewed in Germany on December 3, 2021
My boy thoroughly enjoys reading this book. He gets to pick his own bedtime stories and this one is always in the rotation. Such a necessary message if we want to have gender equality. Definitely recommended for all parents to get this book and to move away from the strict gender norms with babies. Babies just love all colours and types of toys so just let them have it all and decide what they like or not.
