Zinnia is the only pink person in a very gold world. After being told that pink stinks by a golden bully, she goes on a quest to get rid of her pink for good. Along the way, Zinnia learns a valuable lesson. Will she embrace her unique pink, or will she change to be just like everyone else?
REVIEW
This is such a cute story about being true to yourself. There is a good variety of words that is perfect for those out of basic readers that want to advance their skills and it is such a fun book to read out loud. When Zinnia is told that she stinks because she is not like everyone else, she decides she needs to change to be like the others who are all gold. As she ventures out into the forest on her way to the Crystal Prism where she hopes she can change her pink to gold like everyone in her school. She finds the others are happy with their colors and that she doesn’t stink. I love the message that this book tells children – be happy with what and who you are.
