"This inclusive rhyming picture book celebrates Pride, loving who you are, and being kind with infectiously exuberant joy."
Inviting young readers to join a group of seven kids (one for each colour of the rainbow) as they countdown to their town’s Pride parade, Gareth Peter’s rhyming text makes One More Day Until Pride a read-aloud delight, while Max Rambaldi’s bright, bold illustrations are a veritable carnival of colour and character.
The book begins with a summary of what Pride means: “Pride’s about being HAPPY, about being YOU/being TRUE to what you feel inside/where we celebrate difference through friendship and fun/and it’s all about LOVE. Yes, that’s Pride!” Next, we witness the seven friends prepare for the parade, with love, passion and a whole lot of pride infusing their banners and costumes.
After acknowledging that “there are times you may find that some people aren’t kind”, there’s a message around words of love having the power to “melt all that meanness away” before the parade takes to the streets. All of which means One More Day Until Pride adds up to a top tool for introducing young children to what Pride is, and to celebrating difference every day.
