Violet | Tania Duprey Stehlik, Vanja Vuleta Jovanovic
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
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 violet? 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. Tania Stehlik is of Indian and French Canadian descent and takes great pride in her mixed heritage. She lives in Toronto, Ontario. Vanja Vuleta Jovanovic is a multimedia artist and a freelance graphic designer. Born in the former Yugoslavia, she lives in Toronto, Ontario. The Violet book trailer is now online for your viewing pleasure!

3⭐️ I will be honest, I‘m not sure what to think of this book. Violet is purple. Her mom is red, and her dad is blue. She never thinks about any of this until people are confused by her blue dad. I know it's supposed to a book on being yourself, but i think some of it gets mixed up. It‘s a bit convoluted. I think I need to hear others opinions on this title. I will say, I do like the artwork, as it‘s not typical children‘s picture book artwork.

syasutake As a parent of biracial kids curious about this book. I'll see if my library has it. 7y
LibrarianRyan @syasutake it may not be out yet, and it is an indie publisher. I would love to hear you opinion. 7y
