If someone on the playground tries to convince you that black is the new pink, cover your ears tightly. It is just not so! Pink is a color with the most amazing powers. Believe me, its true… just ask my new friend, Pinkalicious.

Pinkalicious, a best selling children's book, is an engaging tale written and illustrated by the Kann sisters, Elizabeth and Victoria. This dynamic duo brings us into the world of a little sprite that is infatuated with the color pink. It is all about pink, pink, pink…morning, noon and night until the day Pinkalicious wakes up with skin the same hue as her much loved color.  Too many cupcakes before bedtime may give most of us a tummy ache but it gave Pinkalicious a terrible case of "pinkititis". Through trials and denials, Pinkalious figures out a way to get out of her predicament to regain her rosy glow. She is again happy being just who she is, a true Pinkerbelle. With Victoria and Elizabeth's animated words and lively images, this is a book that any girly-girl is sure to call her favorite.

But wait there is more…
Elizabeth and Victoria have just released a second book in their series, Purplicious. Pinkalicious is back and true to character, embarks on a new lively adventure centered around (you guessed it) the color pink. This is a story about friendship, a story about creativeness and most of all, a story about being true to yourself. Purplicious serves as a enchanting guide when teaching your daughter the importance of individualism. Faster than Picasso could blend pink and blue into purple, girls of all ages are sure to gobble up this scrumptious book.

For those lucky enough to be in the New York City area, be sure to check out Pinkalicious: The Musical at The McGinn/Cazale Theatre.
