abbie_ 's review for:
Pride Families
by Amie Taylor
informative
fast-paced
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my free e-ARC!
Lovely lovely! Requested this on Netgalley for two reasons - one was a reading challenge, the other is I have two nieces and I need to start getting then books to help them understand and appreciate all sorts of identities and people. It is my duty as cool lesbian auntie 😌
I thought this picture book did a great job of explaining complex identities in a straightforward manner, and I liked the inclusion of the glossary for adults/parents in the back. The main message is a good one - pride families (families where one or more parents is queer) come in all different shapes and sizes and every one is perfect! It’ll help kids look beyond the heteronormative boundaries of what a family looks like.
The illustrations were also gorgeous! A lovely array of human beings represented, and I loved the inclusion of pride flags behind them.
