Pride: An Inspirational History of the LGBTQ+ Movement

I bought "Pride: An Inspirational History of the LGBTQ+ Movement" back in June (by Stella Caldwell) and finally got around to reading it. 

["Take pride in who you are! This inspiring history of the LGBTQ+ community enlightens young readers on the true timeline of LGBTQ+ history around the world, the lives of important figures like Harvey Milk, and iconic events like Stonewall.

The LGBTQ+ community is so much more than rainbow flags and the month of June. In this beautifully designed dynamic book, young readers will learn about groundbreaking events, including historic pushes for equality and the legalization of same-sex marriages across the world. They will dive into the phenomenal history of queer icons from ancient times to the present and read about Harvey Milk, Marsha P. Johnson, Audre Lorde, and more.

Including several personal current essays from inspiring young, LGBTQ+ people, this book encourages readers to take pride in their identity and the identities of those around them. Don’t just learn about LGBTQ+ history – take pride in it!

The lively four-color interior, including photographs and bold illustrations, enhances the text and makes this a beautiful and dynamic addition to any collection."]

This book was SUPER informative. At times it was a smidge dense, but it was filled with so much information, fun facts, quotes, biographies, pictographs, and more. 

It was beautiful in its history and its endurance, just like the history of the LGBTQ+ movement.

If you know nothing about this part of history, this is a good place to start. If you know a lot about the LGBT+ movement, this would make an excellent addition to your collection. Either way, I completely recommend this book.
