The Rainbow Parade

Join the celebration at the Rainbow Parade and witness a heartwarming story of acceptance and friendship. In this joyful picture book, LGBTQ+ advocates Shane Jordan and Rick Hendrix take young readers on a colorful journey of self-expression and acceptance. Set at a stormy pride parade, the story follows a child who is free to express their gender identity, celebrating with their father. But when they come across a non-binary child who doesn't feel comfortable in their own skin, they lend a helping hand and show them that they are seen, accepted, and loved. Gentle storytelling and stunning illustrations play on the magical experience of finding one's community. Featuring expert back matter by Mayo Clinic clinical psychologist Cesar Gonzalez, PhD, LP, ABPP, The Rainbow Parade encourages children and gatekeepers to break down stereotypes and embrace diversity. This book offers a timely and important lesson on the power of love, friendship, and acceptance. Perfect for children of all identities, The Rainbow Parade is a must-have addition to any bookshelf.
