It's Pride, Baby!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Dia Valle. A young child and their two parents prepare for a DC Black Pride parade in this picture book that examines an often-overlooked part of Pride history. Brightly colored, but mostly static, digital illustrations show the family as they join others in their multicultural community who are heading to the event. The titular refrain is repeated as the narrator encourages the child to “wave your rainbow flag high.” Back matter provides information about the Black gay pride movement and ways to support LGBTQIA+ kids.
