"The Purple Girl" is a sweet children’s book beautifully illustrated by Tory and Norman Taber that tells the tale of a child named Violet who definitely is unlike any others but is loved by her parents anyway.  The townspeople aren’t quite so comfortable with a child who can even turn things she touches to purple and reject her.  A little boy named Frankie challenges her to embrace her difference and eventually she finds that she has something to contribute even as she learns to accept who she is.This whimsical children’s story is a celebration of the color purple and the importance of finding one’s comfort zone.  There are plenty of obstacles to overcome and Violet chooses her own pathway to become a person who is comfortable with herself.  There were a few threads that I would have liked to have had cleared up but overall this is a fun story that is enhanced by the lovely pictures.A copy was provided to me in exchange for an honest review
