Gina stands out everywhere, not only for her deep, purple color and graceful curves, but also for her flair. Dancing is her passion: as soon as she hears music, she moves with abandon, regardless of where she is or who is watching. Behind the glitter and poses, however, lies an insecure side: Gina craves validation and can create a lot of drama if she doesn't feel seen. Yet, she teaches her friends and herself that staying true to who you are is the most beautiful form of freedom.

Gina is the dramatic performer. She brings flair, dance, and emotion to the gang. With her poses and movements, she always wants to attract attention, but deep down, she seeks validation. She shows how important it is to dare to show yourself, even if you are afraid of judgment.

Her trigger: She becomes insecure if she doesn't feel seen or heard. Criticism or mockery of her appearance or dancing makes her somewhat insecure. She can then burst into tears or a dramatic mood.

 

 

Her own book: Goed in mijn schil

Gina shines in her own picture book 'Goed in mijn schil'. An honest, touching, and cheerful story about comparing yourself to others, dealing with insecurity, and discovering that you are good as you are.

Or as Gina herself ultimately says:

“I am an eggplant. And that's beautiful!”

Her book is perfect for children who could use an extra dose of self-confidence or simply want a cheerful, relatable story that shows how beautiful it can be to be different.
