Pink is for everybody! A fun premise, though the book feels a bit short. Not the first book to tackle this concept, but overall well done.

We loved this book and fully support pink being for everybody! The kids really enjoyed this one. It was the perfect length for them not to get bored or distracted midway through. Highly recommend for any pink lovers!

The general thrust of this book is apparent right from the title. It addresses our perceptions of pink. We are shown all sorts of characters and told that pink is acceptable for all of them. I do like the final lines, though, that acknowledge that some people just don't like pink, and that's okay too.

Pink Is for Everybody written by Ella Russell and illustrated by Udayana Lugo is a wonderful picture book that celebrates all things pink. It is a rainy, gray and gloomy day and a group of kids is stuck inside. Things change when they find a pink treasure chest. It is full of all things pink and they have fun turning into painters, palace-dwellers, aliens, dancers and more. They parade around and celebrate. Pink Is for Everybody is a cute, wonderfully illustrated book about exploring how, when and where individuals can use pink. The message is wonderful saying that you can love what you love, wear what you want and not be worried. Don't like pink? That's okay too. This is a great book about inclusivity, breaking down gender stereotypes and being yourself. The illustrations were whimsical and fun, featuring children of all ethnicities and genders, including some in wheelchairs. This is a children's picture book, but I think the message is important to adults as well. It is easy to pass on our gender ideas without even realizing it, so this is a fun book to make us aware of that. A wonderful book for families, schools, and classrooms.

This is so cute. A great lesson about how we can break away from societal gender norms and the pressure of pink is for girls and blue is for boys. My son loved this. The illustrations were fun and colorful and the story itself was really sweet.

Pink is for Everybody is a story with a positive message about stereotypes of colors being associated with gender. It is entertaining to see how the color is used not only for people but for creatures, animals, decoration, and for playing make believe. The characters represent people of all races and abilities. It's a funny book, too, because the cat character shows that it's not impressed with pink and it ends with a twist that makes the reader want to go back and look for clues leading up to it. I would purchase this book for my school library and daughter.

Such a cute cute read! And I also really loved the illustrations so much.

I like that it wasn't too agenda-driven, while still affirming a great color for all genders. But it was really just about how it's okay to like what you like... and it's also okay if you don't like what others like.

That book was so cute! I am slowly curating a collection of gender and sexuality diverse children's books to recommend to parents and teachers. This one is definitely going on the list for teaching children about gender expression!

Very cute book! Too short in my children's opinions but we all enjoyed the art style and message. I will definitely be getting a copy or two for our library!

Pink Is for Everybody by Ella Russell. I loved the story pink. I loved the pink drawings but I didn’t like that they took the pink bows out of there hair because we are trying to get my granddaughter to leave bows in her hair. If you love pink read the story.

Pink is for Everybody by Ella Russell is a sweet, uplifting story about embracing what you love no matter what the world says about it. Who doesn't love a book that tells us we can all love pink in a million different ways (and if we just don't like pink, then that's okay, too). The illustrations are darling, as well.

I love that this book makes an important point about breaking down gendered stereotypes/pressures/expectations, but does it with great fun and no preaching. This is a very pleasant read featuring lively and amusing illustrations and lots of humor. The characters are wonderfully diverse (there's even a bit of the exceedingly rare body diversity, yay!) but in a completely incidental way. This is a book kids will want to read again and again, not because it has a great "message" but just because it's a very enjoyable book! It would make a great circle time read and a wonderful addition to pre-K and elementary classroom and school libraries.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!

This is a wonderful book that celebrates diversity and inclusivity through alliteration and bright beautiful illustrations. I loved the message that pink can be for anybody, of any gender, race, or ability. This book breaks down gender stereotypes around the color pink.

My 4-year-old twin girls loved this book. Yesterday my 7-year-old son grabbed a pink plate for his lunch and one of my twins said that it “was embarrassing” for him. I told her that lots of boys like pink and wear pink, and pink can be a color for anybody. I feel like this book helped drive home an important lesson I have been trying to teach my kids.

I also loved how this book celebrated pink as a color for dragons, cowboys, firefighters, astronauts, and pirates! It’s not just princesses and tutus! Pink can be fierce!

Our favorite part was the grumpy cat who was mad about being in pink on each page. The cat finally donned a smile when given a green bow. This is a great message that while pink is great, it shouldn’t be forced on someone who doesn’t like it.

Thank you to Netgalley and Owlkids Books for this digital arc in exchange for an honest review.

Pink Is for Everybody is a picturebook written by Ella Russell and illustrated by Udayana Lugo. It is currently scheduled for release on April 15 2022. A group of kids is stuck inside on a rainy day, and they’re feeling gloomy, until they discover a pink treasure chest! Inside they find a collection of items that turn their gray day into a playground of pink. Pink is for painters and palace-dwellers, aliens and astronauts, dancers and dragons! In a parade of exuberance that celebrates all things pink, one surly cat stands apart and teaches the kids a gentle lesson about choosing what you love, no matter who you are, while respecting the unique preferences of everybody around you.

Pink Is for Everybody is a cute and charmingly illustrated picturebook about exploring how individuals can where or use pink, if they want to. I like the point that pink is for everyone, except those that do not like pink. As someone that always preferred purple or blue to pink I appreciated that acknowledgement. I loved the inclusivity and the message that it is okay to love whatever it is you love, regardless of who you are and what might be expected of you. I think the book offers a great message to readers of all ages, with charming text and illustrations that will hold up well to repeated reading and sharing.

Wow, what a great book! My son loves pink and I love that there is a book about how pink is for everyone! Growing up pink was always a "girl color" which I didn't like. I always tell my son any color is for anyone! I loved all of the beautiful pictures this story had and if course, all the pink! I definitely loved how the book was so inclusive of all people/abilities. It's so important for children to see themselves represented in books and this one did a great job doing that.

Thank you Owlkids Books for a digital copy of this book! This book is due for publication 4/15/22 and we recommend it.

Delightful picture book that celebrates the color pink, choosing what one loves and accepting the preferences of others. Diverse and inclusive.

This book presents a diverse group of youngsters pondering pink. "Pink is for everybody!" one spread claims.
But there is also acknowledgment and respect for those who don't like the color.

Pink is for Everybody is adorable! The pictures are fantastic as well as the message. I love that they included who it’s not for.. those who don’t like it. :) A wonderful read aloud that kids will be asking for again and again.

I received an electronic ARC from Owlkids Books through NetGalley.
Russell shares all the ways pink is an amazing color. She offers readers a look at who wears pink or uses the color pink without limits. I appreciate that she acknowledges pink is for everyone except for those who don't care for the color. The cat with the beautiful green bowtie feels good about itself and that matters. The positive affirmations and support shine through this charming read aloud.

This is a sweet little book! I love the theme. Diversity and inclusion need to be taught at an early age, and this is a really good book. The illustrations are bright and wonderful. Recommended!!
