(3) K-3 Illustrated by Izzy Evans. A lesbian couple thinks that “everyone is celebrated” in their community, but a hateful act leaves them distraught until their young neighbors rally everyone behind them. Three kids bring unity by getting rainbow flags for all of their neighbors, who proudly display them. Illustrations featuring vistas of the neighborhood and community and thought-provoking questions in the text draw the reader into the story, which was inspired by a real-life event in Massachusetts (detailed in the back matter). A guide to being an “LGBTQ ally” is also appended.
