Tania Duprey Stehlik Livres

Violet is happy that her father has come to pick her up after her first day at a new school. But as she races over to meet him, one of the other kids asks, How come your Dad is blue and you're not?" Violet has never even thought about this before. Her mother is red, and her father is blue -- so why isn't she red or blue? Why is she purple? Upset and confused, Violet goes to her mother. Using paints, her mother shows her that when you combine red and blue, you get violet! Like many people in the world, Violet is a beautiful mix of colors. But color isn't really that important. After all, it is what's inside us that counts.

The story follows a little girl who embraces her unique identity, celebrating the diversity of her family through vibrant colors. With her mom representing red and her dad blue, she joyfully recognizes herself as a beautiful blend of both. Her declaration of pride in being Violet highlights themes of self-acceptance and the importance of individuality, encouraging readers to appreciate their own unique backgrounds.
