CELEBRITY book: The Boy With Pink Hair by Perez Hilton

Perez Hilton has crossed into the world of children's books with his fab first book, The Boy With Pink Hair. It's the story of a boy born with a shock of uber fab pink hair, and how he grows to accept and love himself for who he truly is. Celebrating individuality and self-acceptance, the book was inspired by Hilton's desire to promote equality in readers of ALL ages.

Says Hilton: "While I can identify in many ways with The Boy With Pink Hair, he represents so much more. This story is about every kid who's ever had a dream, felt excluded, wanted to belong, and hoped that one day he could do what he loved and make a difference. With this book, that's exactly what I feel I have the opportunity to do."

We love the fact that Hilton chose a children's book as his first foray into books. The message is sweet, and will encourage all kids to respect each other--and themselves. Now that's the point of children's literature ($17.99, amazon.com).
