Pink, Blue, and You!: Questions for Kids about Gender Stereotypes

Boys can’t like the color pink. Only girls can play with dolls. Who made these rules? What does it mean to be a boy or a girl? What does your family look like? These are some of the questions that you will think about in the book, Pink, Blue, and You!

I think it’s weird that people think only girls can like pink. Everyone should be allowed to do what makes them happy. If a boy wants to wear a dress, he can. Or if a girl wants to play with dinosaurs, she can. I also think it’s fine if families look different. If they have two dads or two moms or if their skin color is different, that’s great! Our world would be so boring if everyone looked the same. I like how the book showed real people who followed their dreams even though other people told them they couldn’t. I like all Elise Gravel’s books, and this is another hit. It’s not as funny as her other books, but this book is very interesting, and it made me think about the questions in the book.
