Reach for this book when your child is feeling the pressure to conform or when every playdate seems to revolve around the same repetitive trends. It is the perfect antidote for a child who feels 'different' from their peers or who is starting to question why everyone else wants to look and act exactly the same. Olivia is a spirited young pig who finds herself in the middle of a pink, sparkly princess craze. Feeling a deep sense of an identity crisis, she explores various ways to stand out, eventually realizing that being a 'mordant' individual is far more rewarding than being a carbon copy. This story beautifully validates a child's need for autonomy and creative expression. It is a sophisticated yet hilarious choice for ages 3 to 7, encouraging children to embrace their unique spark rather than blending into the crowd. Parents will appreciate the dry wit and the subtle message that being yourself is the most special thing of all.
