Pride and Joy: A Story about Becoming an LGBTQIA+ Ally by Frank J. Sileo, Kate Lum-Potvin
4.0
This was a lovely introduction to allyship for young readers. As a trans woman, I was excited and nervous at the same time to see how allyship could be portrayed without usurping the central narrative of those most affected by homophobia and transphobia, queer folks themselves.
Instead, this book carefully and intentionally laid out realistic ways a child might feel about a situation where a loved one was being bullied, while still including important moments such as when Joy asked her brother if he wanted her to sell the cookies.
All of this was wrapped up with pretty and fun rainbow themed art throughout the book. I cannot wait to read this to my kids when it comes out!
