Book Descriptions
for Pride by Robin Stevenson
From The United States Board on Books for Young People (USBBY)
Pride. It looks like a party. But it began with a riot. For LGBTQ people and their supporters, Pride events are an opportunity to honor the past, protest injustice and celebrate a diverse and vibrant community. The high point of Pride, the Pride Parade, is spectacular and colorful. But there is a whole lot more to Pride than rainbow flags and amazing outfits. How did Pride come to be? And what does Pride mean to the people who celebrate it?
Stonewall Honor book, 2017.
The author lives and writes on the West side of Canada, with her partner and son.
