Nail Polish Is Too for Boys! — Emma-Claire Sunday

Alex's world feels gray and drab...until he tries painting his nails and discovers a world of color he has never experienced before! This picture book's gorgeous illustrations progress from black and white to full color as Alex, his diverse group of friends, and ultimately his family all express themselves by doing things they love to do. The sweet and timely rhyming story challenges gender expectations around emotions and activities, and asks the reader to consider: what colors shine through when you're just being you?
