7/10 Meant for older audience 6+ but can be read to younger kids. Teaches how to be a good person. It's hard for kids to understand the book doesn't mean you have to have purple skin.

My mom was with us when we read this book and she said, “this is the beginning of school year gift I would have gotten my teachers if it had been around when I was still a principal.”

Nice thought, but misses the mark. Glad I got it from the library instead of purchasing.

If you are looking for a book about diversity and race, this is not it; it is a book about character traits. It is not about “color.” If you are looking for a book that represents our society’s diversity, you will find that in Daniel Wiseman’s delightful illustrations.
Within these pages find simple lessons on asking questions {those lead to answers}, laughing more {it is hard to be angry if you are laughing), speaking up … and out {the benefits are immense if you use your voice}, and hard work yields results. We do need more purple people. And, this book will help you discover your purple!

Such a beautiful picture book about how to become a purple person. You have to do things like ask questions, work hard, laugh a lot, and use your voice. The last step is to just be you, the real you! I loved the illustrations, too.

Not sure what I was expecting but that wasn't it. Cute, I guess. I thought it was going to be more overtly antiracisit. The pictures are really good.
Ah, I remember now. It is supposed to be about uniting blue and red. I'd have to up my opinion a little.
