Welcome to Litsy!

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.

This board book demonstrates that all colors are for all people.

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.*

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.
Quote: “And all the colors are for EVERYONE. Girls and boys.“

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.

“Purple is for boys. And girls. And unicorns, because......unicorns!“

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.

“All the colors are for everyone. Girls and Boys.“

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.

And unicorns, because ... unicorns!

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.

Remind kids that every color is meant to be loved! Dispel all the stereotypes and find something to love about each color!

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.
