A Child's Introduction to Pride

The history of the LGBTQIA+ community has often been overlooked, but it is one filled with heroes, struggles, triumph, and joy. A Child's Introduction to Pride is full of remarkable stories of groundbreaking events and inspirational people, featuring profiles of dozens of queer icons from various time periods and walks of life.

Young readers will meet members of the community who have made significant contributions to politics, such as Harvey Milk and Marsha P. Johnson, as well as important figures from the worlds of sports, music, literature, dance, science, and more. Kids will also be introduced to key terms like "gender" and "identity" while learning about the importance of coming out and what it means to be a good ally.

In addition to learning about the history of the LGBTQIA+ rights movement, A Child's Introduction to Pride offers a kid-friendly guide to understanding pronouns and intersectionality. It also explores "gayborhoods" and includes a pull-out poster with a timeline of significant events from ancient times to the modern era.

Featuring charming illustrations and a lively design that honours the vibrancy and inclusive nature of the wide-ranging LGBTQIA+ community, A Child's Introduction to Pride is a celebration of a movement that readers of all ages will love.
