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.

School Library Journal writes "the message [of this book] is inspiring. Ask questions, advocate for positive change, and have fun while collaborating." Yes, these are all to be found in the book. Plus, children in wheelchairs, girls in hijabs. There is diverse representation.

I just cannot get into the whole "purple" vibe. Sure, it might be Kristen Bell's favorite color (plus works with the whole blending and mixing thing) but I'm just not a fan. To me, these are celebrity written books that are "meh."

It has a great message, but with kids books, I was expecting it to rhyme. Also, the message can sometimes get lost because the little girl in the story likes the color purple so much. It can be hard to follow for little ones.

I love Kristen bell but this was a weird way to try and spread a message. It was so ackward.
