Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss. ( )

If you are tired of the "blue is for boys, pink is for girls" mindset (and the "boys love trucks and dinosaurs, girls love fashion and mermaids" attitude that goes with it), you will love this sweet book. This little boy adores ALL the colors, which reflect not only his full range of interests, but his rich emotional capacity as well. He loves pink because of ballet, orange because of basketball, and purple because of magic. My son, who at five was all about princesses and fairies, at ten had shifted to soccer and dogs, and now at 18 is a computer programmer studying science and math, would have loved and appreciated this book as a little boy. So would have I! ( )
