This book is such a lovely way for kids to learn about what it means to be an LGBTQIA+ ally. It has a simple but beautiful storyline which makes it easy for small children to understand what the story is about. The drawings in the book are very colorful and beautiful, which adds well to the story. I also love the fact that the book shows all kinds of different pride flags for different groups within the community.
The last bit of the book is very helpful and I love that this is included in the book! It gives tips for parents / educators / any other adults reading this book with (their) children on understanding what it means to be an ally to people and groups they are not a part of and also other ways to foster allyship in children. I think this, as well as the questions that are written in the book to talk about before, during and after reading this book, can be very helpful for parents.
I highly recommend this book!
