Pride

A parent would reach for this book when their child begins asking about the history of Pride marches or when a young person is navigating their own sense of belonging within the LGBTQ+ community. This nonfiction guide moves beyond simple definitions to offer a vibrant, global look at the struggle for equality and the joy of authentic living. It addresses themes of justice, self-confidence, and community heritage in a way that feels both informative and deeply empowering for middle schoolers.
