A little more about this book

Rhyming text takes children straight into the colour, movement and excitement of a Pride parade. The book also includes information for grown-ups about discussing sexual orientation and gender identity, plus a reading guide with additional LGBTQ+ history and context.

It also won the 2015 Stonewall Book Award – winners recognised exceptional LGBTQIA+ literature across three main categories, announced by the American Library Association.
Helpful when

How to use at home

Recommended age
