"My Shadow Is Pink"
Ameba Productions and Distribution has launched "My Shadow Is Pink", the newest read along for kids video program introduced by the leading North American kids streaming platform. Ameba Productions and Distribution signed with Melbourne-based, illustrator and author Scott Stuart to develop his critically acclaimed and best-selling children’s book, "My Shadow is Pink", into a new Read-Along video which is now completed and readily available on Ameba’s streaming services throughout North America and globally on YouTube.
Inspired by the author's own little boy, 'Shadow's' main character likes princesses, fairies and things 'not for boys'...he soon learns (through the support of his dad) that everyone has a shadow that they sometimes feel they need to hide. This is an important book for a new generation of children (and adults alike) which exemplifies the concepts of unconditional love, respect and positive parenting. It is a story of daring to be different and touches on the subjects of gender identity & stereotypes, self- acceptance, equality and diversity.
"There could not be a better time to introduce new audiences to this wonderful book,“ noted Tony Havelka, CEO of Ameba TV. “This is a wonderfully written story of daring to be different and touches on the important subjects of gender identity & stereotypes, self acceptance, equality and diversity—a key topic for so many these days. We are so thrilled that Scott Stewart partnered with us to create another avenue for children and their families to hear his story."
Scott Stuart is the fifth best-selling children’s book author to partner with the streamer to produce and develop charming video read-alongs, joining highly-respected kids authors: Sandra Boyton ("La La Land"); Jeannette Rowe’s series of books ("Dinorsauritis and Smarty Cat"); Laura J. Wellington’s ("My Tooth is Loose"; and Sylvia Medina's Green Kids Club book series are being developed with the first "Melelo, the Fire Elephant” recently becoming available.
