Leo and the Pink Marker

by Mariyka Foster (Author)

Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade

It's fun to color outside the lines in this playful celebration of family, creativity, and the color pink!

Leo LOVES doodling away with his pink marker! So when Mom and Mama aren't looking, he finds an opportunity to liven up the dusty, gray scrapyard. A splash of pink would look great on that crunched-up convertible, and that magnet crane...and the family cat. Uh-oh! Leo got carried away. Will his moms be upset?

This playful ode to Harold and the Purple Crayon casually explores a LGTBQ+ family and is filled with vibrant illustrations that pop from the page. Pick this one up for any child that loves the color pink!
