This week's Recommended Read- A picture book to celebrate Pride month

14 June 2023 (by Megan Thomas (MThomas))

Grandad’s Pride

Grandad's Camper has been a popular read from the library for our children for the past year. The sequel- Grandad's Pride- is a great book for parents or carers who want to talk to their children about Pride month or take children to a real-life Pride march.

Milly can't wait to spend the summer in Grandad's cottage by the sea. There's so much fun to be had in Grandad's lovely big garden, feeding the chickens – and going to the beach in Grandad's brilliant campervan. When Milly is playing in the attic one day, she unearths Grandad and Gramps' old Pride flag. When Grandad explains to Milly what Pride is, Milly has a wonderful idea: they will plan a Pride march in Grandad's little village!

Soon, after much busy activity and roping in all the members of the local community to help with Pride themed book displays, rainbow carrots, flower arrangements and delicious cakes, Pride day is here – the perfect opportunity for Grandad to thank everyone for celebrating love, joy and families of all kinds.

This picture book is full of verve and beautiful illustration from author-illustrator Harry Woodgate, with a simple but meaningful story about the history of Pride, and the importance of supporting inclusive communities.

(Important note- The illustrations in Grandad's Pride include realistic depictions of what a Pride march might look like, including some images which are culturally sensitive, so parents are advised to read the book before sharing.)
