Magenta Pistachio Jolina Jazwinski

In a nutshell, Magenta Pistachio is a story about self-acceptance for all children. Magenta Pistachio is a young person of color with big, curly hair. Magenta lives among people who look very different from her and she feels pressure to straighten her hair and conform. What will Magenta endure in order to feel good enough for the group? Through playful rhyme, author Jolina Jazwinski shares a valuable tale about assimilation that very young children can understand and grown-ups can appreciate. Dave Reed's colorful illustrations depict the resilience of being young and different. Magenta Pistachio's story is an important addition to any home or school library.
