    Pink Is for Boys

    Picture Book

    This picture book challenges traditional gender stereotypes by exploring how colors, particularly pink, have been arbitrarily assigned to specific genders throughout history. The book educates young readers about how pink was actually considered a 'boy color' in the early 1900s and encourages children to embrace any colors they love regardless of gender expectations. Through engaging illustrations and accessible text, it promotes themes of gender inclusivity, self-expression, and questioning societal norms about what boys and girls 'should' like.
