My Shadow is Pink by Scott Stuart， is quite easily the most beautiful children’s picture book I have read in a long time。 Simple illustrations and rhyming verse tell the story of a boy who struggles to fit in， because his shadow is not blue like those of his brothers and father and friends， his is pink！ This is a gorgeous story of finding the courage to be yourself and find your place in a world that may not understand your differences。 My Shadow is Pink is truly a book a courage and acceptance。

It's Pink Day on Days of the Year Calendar。 I must read something about the topic today！ This is an inspirational book written by a father to his son， after the child experienced bullying in school。 Highly recommend if this has happened to you or someone you know。 Books are a perfect way to introduce tough topics when someone might think they are the only one that has experienced a specific problem。 It's Pink Day on Days of the Year Calendar。 I must read something about the topic today！ This is an inspirational book written by a father to his son， after the child experienced bullying in school。 Highly recommend if this has happened to you or someone you know。 Books are a perfect way to introduce tough topics when someone might think they are the only one that has experienced a specific problem。 。。。more

Czy naprawdę „możesz być kim chcesz？”。 Scott Stuart w „Mój cień jest różowy” opowiada - z perspektywy małego chłopca - historię iście oświeceniową - uczącą， bawiącą i się rymującą。 Opowieść， która dodaje odwagi dzieciom i ich rodzicom， ale też nieprzesadnie lukruje rzeczywistość， pokazując， że cienie są nie tylko różowe。„Cień taty mojegoniebieski jest cały -i wszystkie chłopakiw rodzinie tak miały。 Lecz mój cień jest inny -od stóp aż do głowy -bo nie jest niebieski…Mój cień jest różowy！”Zadanie Czy naprawdę „możesz być kim chcesz？”。 Scott Stuart w „Mój cień jest różowy” opowiada - z perspektywy małego chłopca - historię iście oświeceniową - uczącą， bawiącą i się rymującą。 Opowieść， która dodaje odwagi dzieciom i ich rodzicom， ale też nieprzesadnie lukruje rzeczywistość， pokazując， że cienie są nie tylko różowe。„Cień taty mojegoniebieski jest cały -i wszystkie chłopakiw rodzinie tak miały。 Lecz mój cień jest inny -od stóp aż do głowy -bo nie jest niebieski…Mój cień jest różowy！”Zadanie domowe brzmi: Weź kredki， książki， drugie śniadanie i… przebierz się za swój cień。 Co gdy twój cień jest różowy i kręci piruety， gdy nikt nie widzi？ NIC。 Po prostu przebierasz się w swój cień， który jest różowy i nosi spódniczkę。 Ale zderzenie z rzeczywistością jest trudne， tata się boi， w szkole reakcje są nieszczególne。 Dopóki twój ojciec sam nie wdzieje różowej spódniczki。Scott Stuart， australijski twórca ksiażek dla dzieci， wierzy w rodzicielski autorytet i siłę mądrych argumentów。 Świat jest tak skonstruowany， że wzrusza nas napakowany brodacz w różowej sukience i może to on jest kluczem do trwałej zmiany naszej rzeczywistości？ W kolejnej książce Stuart będzie opowiadał o tym „jak być prawdziwym mężczyzną”， a okładka już zapowiada， że będzie tam sporo różu。Książkę przełożył Michał Rusinek， który jak zawsze pokazał， że nie trzeba zbytnio naginać polskiego języka， by lekko i płynnie napisać wiersz dla dzieci。Więcej tutaj - https://www。empik。com/empikultura/ksi。。。 。。。more

This was so cute！！ I loved it a lot。 It’s about a little boy who likes “girl” things in a traditionally male family， but realised that’s okay。 It’s also a rhyming book。

*What a wonderful story of empowerment and unconditional love！*I learned about this book from my daughter。 She asked me to purchase it for my granddaughters， telling me she read it and loved it。 Then， when she received it， I read it。。。 and loved it。 It is a marvelous tale about being true to who you are and of being loved as you are。 That is such an important message for ALL our children - for adults， too！I really like that it doesn't make it about any particular anything。 It talks about people *What a wonderful story of empowerment and unconditional love！*I learned about this book from my daughter。 She asked me to purchase it for my granddaughters， telling me she read it and loved it。 Then， when she received it， I read it。。。 and loved it。 It is a marvelous tale about being true to who you are and of being loved as you are。 That is such an important message for ALL our children - for adults， too！I really like that it doesn't make it about any particular anything。 It talks about people just being people， liking what others may not expect， but still being okay。 What a great thing to tell our young - it is okay to be unique; everyone is special in some way， so be proud of what makes you YOU！ 。。。more

A great book and very age appropriate for younger children。 This book is a perfect way to introduce younger children what LGBTQ is and shows a great representation。

I wish I could give more than 5 stars， this book is AMAZING。 This is exactly the kind of book that should be getting published in 2020。 It shares with young children that it is okay to be different than what you think it "normal"。 The main character in this is most likely transgender， and it is something that should get introduced at a younger age， and should also be considered "normal"。 I hope there are more children's books that include the LGBTQ / Trans community to come out in the near futur I wish I could give more than 5 stars， this book is AMAZING。 This is exactly the kind of book that should be getting published in 2020。 It shares with young children that it is okay to be different than what you think it "normal"。 The main character in this is most likely transgender， and it is something that should get introduced at a younger age， and should also be considered "normal"。 I hope there are more children's books that include the LGBTQ / Trans community to come out in the near future！ This is a book that I will read to my future children and it will be in my classroom library！ 。。。more

This book teaches students how to be accepting of their own person。 Although book does follow some stere types （blue for boys and pink for girls） the author does a really good job at portraying the characters and how he's felling。 This book teaches students how to be accepting of their own person。 Although book does follow some stere types （blue for boys and pink for girls） the author does a really good job at portraying the characters and how he's felling。 。。。more

This book is beautiful。 The story is so-so important， the pictures are really cute， it's easy enough for young readers。Also shoutout to the author， who's a supportive dad himself。 He wrote this book because his own son was struggling and he wanted to help him feel more welcomed in this world。 I never use this， but。。。 I STAN。 This book is beautiful。 The story is so-so important， the pictures are really cute， it's easy enough for young readers。Also shoutout to the author， who's a supportive dad himself。 He wrote this book because his own son was struggling and he wanted to help him feel more welcomed in this world。 I never use this， but。。。 I STAN。 。。。more

It's a shame Goodreads only allows 5 stars because I would give this book 100 if I could。 The book is one big beautiful message about being who you are meant to be and unconditional love。 It's the perfect story to introduce gender identity and diversity to children。 My children loved the story and when we were finished my 6 year old said "Do you know what I think happened next？ I think he found more friends with pink shadows too"。Such a beautiful story。 I will be reading this to my children for It's a shame Goodreads only allows 5 stars because I would give this book 100 if I could。 The book is one big beautiful message about being who you are meant to be and unconditional love。 It's the perfect story to introduce gender identity and diversity to children。 My children loved the story and when we were finished my 6 year old said "Do you know what I think happened next？ I think he found more friends with pink shadows too"。Such a beautiful story。 I will be reading this to my children for many years to come！ 。。。more

One of my five year old sons favourite books。 He received it as a gift for his birthday and I’m so glad he did， because it’s a beautiful way of exploring a child’s feelings though the medium of words and pictures。The lead character， though we never know his name， has a pink shadow。 His dad has a blue shadow， and he worries about his little boy。 The story shows them coming together and bonding over their differences。 This is a truly enlightening book about accepting individuality and a must have One of my five year old sons favourite books。 He received it as a gift for his birthday and I’m so glad he did， because it’s a beautiful way of exploring a child’s feelings though the medium of words and pictures。The lead character， though we never know his name， has a pink shadow。 His dad has a blue shadow， and he worries about his little boy。 The story shows them coming together and bonding over their differences。 This is a truly enlightening book about accepting individuality and a must have for any child’s bookshelf。 。。。more

This book was a sweet and endearing story about a young boy who likes to do things his own way。 It has a great message about being yourself and accepting others。 I would love to keep this book in my future classroom so that my students know that I will accept them no matter how they choose to represent themselves and their personalities。

I thought this was such a clever exploration of gender identity in a way that small kids will understand。 A little boy grapples with his pink shadow when most of those around him， especially the Dad he adores， have blue shadows。 There were some really moving stanzas about acceptance - eg。 'Some they will love you。。。and some they will not。 But those that do love you they'll love you a lot。' My absolute favourite spread was when the Dad appears in a dress。 It would be nice to think we didn't need I thought this was such a clever exploration of gender identity in a way that small kids will understand。 A little boy grapples with his pink shadow when most of those around him， especially the Dad he adores， have blue shadows。 There were some really moving stanzas about acceptance - eg。 'Some they will love you。。。and some they will not。 But those that do love you they'll love you a lot。' My absolute favourite spread was when the Dad appears in a dress。 It would be nice to think we didn't need books like this but we really do and Scott Stuart is to be congratulated on creating such a moving story。 。。。more

Your shadow is pink， I see now it's true。 It's not just your shadow， it's your innermost you。Cute little kids book with beautiful art that is great to introduce your child to gender expression。 Sure， associating pink with feminine and blue with masculine presenting people is a bit old-fashioned but for what this book tries to achieve， using the colours works fine。 Your shadow is pink， I see now it's true。 It's not just your shadow， it's your innermost you。Cute little kids book with beautiful art that is great to introduce your child to gender expression。 Sure， associating pink with feminine and blue with masculine presenting people is a bit old-fashioned but for what this book tries to achieve， using the colours works fine。 。。。more
