With bright, buoyant illustrations and lyrical, age-appropriate rhyme modeled on “’Twas the Night Before Christmas,” it tackles difficult content such as the Stonewall Riots and the AIDS marches. On the night before Pride, families everywhere are preparing to partake. As one family packs snacks and makes signs, an older sibling shares the importance of the march with the newest member of the family. Reflecting on the day, the siblings agree that the best thing about Pride is getting to be yourself. Author Joanna McClintick and Pura Belpré Award–winning author-illustrator Juana Medina create a new classic that pays homage to the beauty of families of all compositions—and of all-inclusive love.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Candlewick Press\/Holiday House\/Peachtree","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40145368875050,"sku":"","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0152\/7041\/2388\/products\/9781536213430_a9cf1.jpg?v=1653072751","url":"https:\/\/booksofwonder.com\/products\/9781536229066","provider":"Books of Wonder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
