3 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
A glittering celebration of queer families puts Pride gently in perspectivehonoring those in the LGBTQ+ community who fought against injustice and inequality. Prides . . . a day that means Together, we are strong! This joyful picture-book homage to a day of community and inclusionand to the joys of anticipationis also a comprehensive history. With bright, buoyant illustrations and lyrical, age-appropriate rhyme modeled on Twas the Night Before Christmas, it tackles difficult content such as the Stonewall Riots and the AIDS marches. On the night before Pride, families everywhere are preparing to partake. As one family packs snacks and makes signs, an older sibling shares the importance of the march with the newest member of the family. Reflecting on the day, the siblings agree that the best thing about Pride is getting to be yourself. Debut author Joanna McClintick and Pura Belpr Awardwinning author-illustrator Juana Medina create a new classic that pays homage to the beauty of families of all compositionsand of all-inclusive love.

Delightful. My partner just came home from the local book shop with this. So affirming. A beautiful picture book. If this is my last read for 2023 it's a great one.

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Love this! My town just did a flag raising, and I can hear the DJ at the park across the street getting festivities started. The town/county VIPs don't like it, so it's always a last-minute, thrown together event. We're going to walk the dog through to show support, but I'm not sure if there'll be many revelers or entertainment. I still gotta roll through and be a good ally, though. ❤️🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🤎🖤🩶🤍 11mo
TheBookHippie @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick we hire security rent the park and have the police present with an ice cream truck and still people come and scream hatred with their bibles 🙄 11mo
