Lily is back and she is all in pink. Can a blue kangeroo bare it? He tries hard but only being pink will save him from the exclusion. Only after scrubbing up in pink icing
does blue kangeroo convey to Lily his torment. Lily is compassionate and dresses in blue to make her point.
Being excluded and trying to fit in is a recurrent theme in many children's childhoods. Emma Chichester Clark shows that being sensative to other's differences is really important. Her message to children is gentle. Her message to parents could spark valuable conversations between them and their listeners.
As always, Chichester Clark's drawings are superb.
