Date: 05 19, 2013
This book involves a young girl named Emily who makes a special birthday wish on her sixth birthday. She blows out the candles and wishes that everything in the world would become pink. Emily goes too far by throwing away any present that is not pink. When she awakes the next day, she gets her wish. Family and friends are unhappy. The traffic lights, sun, house, everything is pink! Her friend Valerie is distressed because she cannot find her cat. When it begins raining pink raindrops, Emily finds the rainbow umbrella that her Grandmother gave her as a gift thrown in the trash. Emily picks it up. She realizes that we need diversity in the world and that it is boring to have everything the same even if it is our favorite color. Young children will love the read aloud; older children will get the message and enjoy reading it independently.
