Ideal Reader
A preschooler or early elementary student who has seen a Pride flag or attended their first community festival and wants to understand the "why" behind the celebration. It is also a vital mirror for children in LGBTQ+ families who rarely see their specific community dynamics depicted in such a loud, proud, and unapologetic fashion.
