![]() This Day In June is a wonderful introduction for younger children to the idea of diversity and acceptance. The middle pages tend to have one overall color identifying with one particular aspect- or issue- of the LBGTQ community, pink, blue and red are the most noticeable. There is a lot going on in the background, signs, celebrations, but they are done only in colored outlines so it doesn’t draw attention from the main attraction- the parade. ![]() ![]() There are only two short sentences on each page, and each one has specific meaning as explained in the notes in the back of the book. Impressionsįirst of all I love that this book covers a topic that can be controversial in a very simple, beautiful way. Included as well is a discussion suggestion/guide on how to talk with kids ranging in ages 3-18 about LBGTQ questions they may have. This Day In June includes end notes explaining the origination of Pride Parades and the meaning of the phrases used on each page. It’s a warm June day, and a very colorful parade is about to start! It’s a Pride parade, and everyone comes together to celebrate who they are. Washington, D.C.: Magination Press, 2014. ![]()
