In this gladly intergenerational view of Pride, Woodgate's sequel to Grandad's Camper offers a familial portrait that twines past and present." - Publishers Weekly

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Every summer at Grandad's seaside home, young Milly, portrayed with brown skin, goes adventuring. When Milly finds a Pride flag that's ideal for a pirate ship's sail, Grandad, who reads as white, tells them about Pride, and how he and late Gramps, shown with brown skin, used to travel around attending Pride events. Milly suggests going to Pride in Grandad's camper van, and when he says that his "partying days" are long gone and the city is too busy, works with him to assemble the first-ever village Pride locally. Bustling, bright-hued images with a rainbow motif show the intersectionally diverse community—portraying people of varying abilities, body types, gender expressions, and skin tones—preparing for the event, giving each page a celebratory vibe. In this gladly intergenerational view of Pride, Woodgate's sequel to Grandad's Camper offers a familial portrait that twines past and present. Ages 3–6.
