★ "A good thing comes in a small, rainbow package...A joyful, affirming, pride-filled read."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
Through gentle rhymes and colorful photographs of adorable children, Pride Colors is a celebration of the deep unconditional love of a parent or caregiver for a young child. The profound message of this delightful board book is you are free to be whoever you choose to be; you'll always be loved.
Celebrated author Robin Stevenson ends her purposeful prose by explaining the meaning behind each color in the Pride flag: red = life, orange = healing, yellow = sunlight, green = nature, blue = peace and harmony, and violet = spirit.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Stevenson captures the essence of Pride celebrations in this board book. Vibrant photographs feature diverse families accompanied by affirming statements that reference a full rainbow of colors. A smiling child holds a heart balloon: "A bright red heart, a little star./ I love you just the way you are." Two mothers snuggle a baby in one photograph; in another, two fathers and a child laugh together: "I'll love the person/ you grow to be." A key to the symbolism behind each color rounds out this volume: red stands for "life," orange for "healing," yellow for "sunlight," green for "nature," blue for "peace, harmony," and purple for "spirit." Pride is an expansive celebration with room for all who love and cherish others, Stevenson conveys. Ages up to 2.
