A story about a boy with a heart too big for one color alone.
A little boy attempts to answer one of grown-ups' all-time favorite questions: "What's your favorite color?" But with so many wonderful colors to choose from, he doesn't know how to answer. He loves his pink sparkly tutu, bright red roses, soft yellow baby doll pajamas, and big, orange basketball. How will he ever pick?

What reviewers said
"Ever-empowering...the bright, colorful images will pull your little one in from the very first page."
"Dynamic digital illustrations by Chomiak highlight the child's energy and imagination. While the ending feels slightly abrupt, the narrative clearly encourages readers to avoid projecting limiting binary social norms."
