First Festivals: Pride - Cover

First Festivals: Pride

Illustrator: Abbey Bryant

A wonderfully colourful and intersectional introduction to Pride festivals for the very young. Excellent use is made of the flaps, giving an impressive sense of movement to the book. Bright and appropriately rainbow-hued double pages gently reveal an array of LGBTQ+ flags, explaining the purpose, love and fun that drives Pride.
