This book wasn't what I expected---another cutsie story about a girl who loves the color pink---but instead it was surprisingly thoughtful, lyrical, melancholy, and heartwarming. Lovely use of language and amazing character development for a picture book! But it probably wasn't the best pick for my five-year-old as the nuances of the tale were lost on her---and I'm not sure I would want her to be worrying about some of what this book introduces, including Mean Girls and dealing with deep disappointments. Read it for yourself or perhaps with an older child. :)

what a depressing frou-frou looking pink book! I like the perspective of a disadvantaged child, there's a lot of value in this story, but I don't know that little kids 'get' it, but I sure do, and didn't like rereading it so many times!
