Bookroo's summary

Pinky loves pink and treasures his friendship with Rex, but a bully's taunts make him question his choices. As Kevin's words echo in his mind, Pinky faces a dilemma: should he abandon his favorite things and his best friend to fit in, or stand firm against the pressure? With his identity and friendship on the line, Pinky must decide what truly matters. Will he find the courage to be himself, or will he succumb to the bully's demands? Discover Pinky's journey of self-acceptance and friendship in this heartwarming tale.

From the publisher

Pinky’s favorite color is pink, and his best friend, Rex, is a girl. Kevin, the third-grade bully, says that makes Pinky a sissy. Deep down, Pinky thinks Kevin is wrong, but he’s still worried. Does Pinky have to give up his favorite things, and worse, does he have to give up his best friend?
