Pride and Joy: A Story about Becoming an LGBTQIA+ Ally by Frank J. Sileo, Kate Lum-Potvin

5.0

Pride and Joy by Frank J. Sileo is an original and beautifully illustrated story for children that helps promote inclusivity and allyship.

What I love most about this book is that a discussion guide is included. It’s thoughtful and intentional in its message. The story is appropriate for school aged children, and helps create dialogue and build on social awareness. Furthermore, I’d argue that it is able to illuminate acceptance and foster understanding for adults as well. I’d recommend this book to my friends, and give an overall rating of 4.5 on GoodReads!

Thanks to Jessica Kingsley Publishers and Edelweiss for an advanced read in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts expressed are my personal opinion.
