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 of Anything but Pink

I believe this is the best book I’ve ever read that addresses diversity. Words hurt and they made quite an impact on Zinnia, our main character. After being so happy in her own skin, she set out on a quest to change her color to match everyone else. All because she was told pink stinks… I’m certainly not going to tell you how the story ends but I will strongly reccomend this jewel, no matter if you’re pink, purple, or blue!
