My Shadow is Pink

Product Information

The long-awaited second instalment in Samantha Shannon's Sunday Times and New York Times-bestselling series Tunuva Melim is a sister of the Priory. Inspired by the best-selling Melbourne author's own son, My Shadow is Pink is a beautifully written rhyming story of love and self-acceptance that touches on the subjects of gender identity, equality and diversity. Le frasi sono tutte in rima in lingua inglese ma molto semplice da comprendere e le immagini sono molto chiare e significative.

Opowieść, która dodaje odwagi dzieciom i ich rodzicom, ale też nieprzesadnie lukruje rzeczywistość, pokazując, że cienie są nie tylko różowe. Having worked at The Royal Children's Hospital, Scott has seen how important it is for children to feel represented and is committed to creating stories of empowerment. I think this is a good way to introduce that just because society associates colors with gender, blue does not mean boy and pink does not mean girl.It’s also a great example of how a parent can support their child as they grow through their own self-discovery. That day Scott resolved to always support his son and the things he loves, even if they challenge his - or society's - expectations. So… butch Dad puts on a dress too (he has his own secret interest evidently) and shows the boy pictures of people in their family who have interests outside their ‘shadow’ group – a blue-shadowed man who loves paintings and fashion, and a pink-shadowed girl who is into cars and engines in a big way. He hopes by sharing this story that readers will be encouraged to accept and love their true selves, and help break down some gender stereotypes along the way.

My Shadow is Pink is a cute story about a little boy who finds that his shadow is not blue like other boys, but rather pink. My Shadow is Pink is a beautifully written rhyming story that touches on the subjects of gender identity, self acceptance, equality and diversity. The theme is really a dual one – one of accepting that people can live happily in their own shadow and also share interests that are not usually part of that shadow, and the other that there are those whose shadows may never match the gender assigned to them, and that is fine too. Ho acquistato l'edizione in copertina flessibile, il libro ha una bella dimensione quasi quadrata, bella grande e facilmente sfogliabile.There are no set gender roles because we are all capable of doing and wearing whatever we feel best represents us.
