Pink Is for Boys
Pink Is for Boys | Robb Pearlman
22 posts | 18 read | 4 to read
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.

4 ⭐This book is simple but perfect. It gives each color and that it is for boys and girls, or for girls and boys. It‘s also for something you see in society. Things like brown is for teddy bears and green is for glass. This book makes sure to say that all colors are for everyone, and that pink is not just a girl‘s color and blues is not just a boys colors. Colors are for everyone. An important lesson for the modern US society.

I wrote a reflection for my Library about bringing a bear called JK Growling to a Pride event.

I‘ve been contending with her name being what it is for a *while.*

Graywacke Great article. Kudos. 2y

AFrostCauseReads Loved the article! I constantly find myself struggling with loving art that comes from a problematic source. In this case, since JK Growling is an offshoot of the namesake, it might help to think of it as a new generation improving over the last. The original is a TERF, but JK Growling accepts and supports all! 2y
LiteraryinLawrence Great article! 💗 2y

In society today, people have so many views on what is appropriate for boys and girls based on their stereotypes and I think we need to start breaking down those judgements. In my classroom I want all of my students to love what the like without having to hide things. This is a great book to bring students together and support one and another,

Review: Pink Is for Boys by Robb Pearlman, 2018, is a beautiful picturebook all about colors. Specifically it's about how colors don't have a gender, and that they are for everyone, even pink!
Blurb: This book is a simple story made for a younger crowd, but that tells a powerful message nonetheless. Teaching children that certain colors aren't for certain people is important.

I would use this book in my classroom if I saw a child making fun of someone wearing a “boy“ or “girl“ color. I would also use this book in my classroom to help teach colors and ASL color words.

This picture book is great for teaching colors and that colors should not be gender related. This book I would say is for pre-k to first grade. The illustrations really makes the color it is talking about the main focus.

I will definitely read this in my classroom. It is a great book to read to young children to help them understand that it doesn't matter what color you like, boy or girl. If a boy likes pink! That's ok! If a girl likes blue, that's ok! It is a great book for the topic of genderizing.

I loved this book! It was silly and cute and I definitely want to read this book in my future classroom to my future student. The illustrations were amazing yet simple yet also detailed. It is a great book to read to students about no genderizing and that it doesn't matter if a boy likes the color pink or if a girl likes the color blue.

this book is huge on diversity. this book uses colors to show that not only girls can wear certain colors and boys can. but that all genders are equal

Cute, if simplistic. I like to think that we have progressed past the need for a book that says it‘s okay for boys to like pink and girls to like blue, but maybe we haven‘t.

SW-T Boys and girls both wore white dresses til the age of 6 til the early 1900‘s. Then boys were in pink and girls in blue til about 1940. How times have changed 🙄 5y
tournevis My son got bullied for a shirt that had butterflies on it and I got both sneered and screemed at for his pink tricycle, so yeah, we need that book. We have so not gotten past this... 5y

I love how in each color section, the illustrations are all shades of that color. Such a unique idea! It has a way of bringing everyone together.

Published in 2018 by Running Press Kids. This book literally has every color of the rainbow! It‘s message is so important- that boys & girls can all like the same colors! The composition of this book is perfect to read aloud. It would be great to share with kids at a young age to help them realize these stereotypes.

Lovely illustrations, dull narrative. It seems overly simplistic, pushing it into pointlessness. But that‘s my opinion. Will see what my kids think when they get home.
