A boy chooses his favorite pink T-shirt to wear on Uniform-free Day—but not everyone thinks it’s cool.

Excited at the prospect of Uniform-free Day at school, Pascal puts on his favorite pink T-shirt. 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 showing how sad life would be without them. Shocked by the thought of a world without bubble gum, strawberry milkshakes, and piglets, the children soften and apologize to Pascal. Pink is for Piglets celebrates individuality, courage, and the overturning of stereotypes.

Annette Cooper holds both an Arts Degree in English and a Science Degree in Zoology and Botany from Melbourne University. These contrasting areas of study have enabled her to approach the world from different perspectives, creating innovative contexts for learning. Her love of the natural world saw her employed as a researcher in both the ABC and BBC’s Natural History Units. Annette enjoys the innocence, escapism, (deceptive) simplicity, and sheer fun of children’s books. She currently lives in Melbourne, Australia.
