Week of 6/1

June is Pride Month! There are many ways to celebrate this month and the rights of the LGBTQ community. Celebrating this month is important because it reminds us to be inclusive of people of all backgrounds and the importance of advocating for those who are in minority groups. While many communities and cities have over-the-top celebrations, there are ways to celebrate in your home. One way is to diversify your home library. Here are some books you can add to your collection:

  • Pick up a copy of I Am Jazz, the real-life story of young trans activist Jazz Jennings.
  • Todd Parr's The Family Book is filled with his trademark brightly-hued illustration and a simple storyline that celebrates families of all types.
  • Learn the story of Harvey Milk and the symbolism behind the rainbow flag in Pride: The Story of Harvey Milk and the Rainbow Flag. Another pick from author Rob Sanders: Stonewall: A Building, An Uprising, A Revolution.
  • Introduce your child to same-sex families with Heather Has Two Mommies or Daddy, Papa, and Me
  • Read the empowering Pink is for Boys in an effort to set aside gender stereotypes.
Whether or not you are part of the LGBTQ community, we can all be allies to support this community and their rights. If you have any questions or need additional suggestions, let me know. I'm always here for you!
