APRICOT BROWN SETS THE STAGE FOR A ONENESS MINDSET WHERE IDENTITY, CULTURE, AND THE TREMENDOUS PRESSURE TO FIT IN ARE DWARFED BY THE IDEA THAT EVERY DAY IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE SOMEONE NEW!
THE POETIC STORY REVOLVES AROUND APRICOT BROWN'S FIRST DAY OF MIDDLE SCHOOL—A DAY OF RECKONING FOR MOST KIDS WHEN THEY ARE SCRUTINIZED AND JUDGED BY THEIR NEW PEERS. BUT THE TITLE CHARACTER DARES THE UNTHINKABLE: SHE DECLARES HER INDEPENDENCE FROM HOMOGENOUS CLIQUES AND INVITES EVERYONE TO CELEBRATE DIFFERENT CULTURES, STYLES, AND PHILOSOPHIES. THIS IS DONE THROUGH A SERIES OF DYNAMIC AND COLORFUL METAMORPHOSES PERFORMED BY APRICOT BROWN. LIKE ANY FREE THINKER, APRICOT BROWN GETS A FEW FOLLOWERS. TOGETHER THEY FACE OPPOSITION. WILL THIS OPPOSITION BREAK THE SPIRIT OF HER AND HER NEW FRIENDS, OR WILL THEY OUTSHINE THE HATERS AND BECOME THE PIONEERS FOR ONE UNITED GENERATION?
THE ANSWER, ACCORDING TO AUTHOR DANA DRUCKER, LIES IN THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF THE LISTENERS AND THEIR CHOICE TO REIMAGINE A WORLD UNITED AND FREE.
