Purplicious!

by: Victoria Kann and Elizabeth Kann
Ages: 5-8

Deciding who you are? Afraid that others don't like who you are? Pinkilicious feels this way when all of her friends make fun of her for liking pink - although she feels sad about how her friends are treaing her, she finds an outlet through poetry. She writes in free verse and decides that she will take her own path regardless of what anyone thinks. She finds that someone much like her, "Purplicious" loves the color purple and decides that being yourself is the most important thing, even if others cannot accept who you are. A really cute story with vibrant pictures that emphasize how amazing an outlet like art and poetry can be for children. Definitely a good pick for girls who might feel left out or for girls who may be participating in excluding others.
