Wonderful picture books that celebrates the culture and achievements of the LGBTQ+ community. The last page asks readers, "What does Pride mean to you?" which would be an awesome prompt for older readers. Loved the back matter that gives brief bios for all people mentioned in the picture book.

This book is a definition of Pride.  It uses real people to illustrate this definition and the end kids can look up the people they do not know.  This book is well done and informative. The artwork is unusual in a good way.  It brings back memories of the psychedelic artwork of the late 70s with a modem eye.

A good introduction to the concept of Pride using a combination of historic and contemporary events and figures in the LGBTQIAP+ community. Illustrations of people's faces take a bit of getting used to as they are stylized and most are of actual people you recognize. Vocabulary is a bit advanced for a typical picture book audience so it feels like it's appropriate for ages 6-11 or younger with a bigger vocabulary.

This is a lovely book that starts with Stonewall and goes through many different ways that people can show pride in themselves for being exactly who they are. Out LGBTQ+ celebrities and influential figures are named in illustrations throughout the book and brief biographies appear in the back of the book. This would be a great book to share when talking about Pride or LGBTQ+ history and it lends itself easily to further research.
