Pink is for Piglets

Annette Cooper Illustrated by Judith Loske

A boy chooses his favourite T-shirt to wear on Uniform-free day—but not everyone thinks it is cool.

Excited at the prospect of showing his personal flair at school, Pascal wears his favourite T-shirt to Uniform-free day. However, when he is ridiculed by his classmates for wearing pink, a crestfallen Pascal finds the courage to stand up for himself, giving examples of things that are pink and how sad it would be without them. Shocked at a world without bubble gum, strawberry milkshakes, and piglets, the children soften and apologise to Pascal. Pink is for Piglets is a heartwarming tale that celebrates individuality, courage, and the overturning of stereotypes. With delightfully engaging illustrations.
 

  • A positive story that explores issues concerning bullying, courage, and respect.
  • Wonderfully written, this story demonstrates the need to respect others and defy stereotypes.
  • Colourful, engaging illustrations that capture the unique qualities of this delightful story.
