The Big Book of Pride Flags- Review: The cutest LGBTQIA+ History Book you will ever Read

 

Knowing our history has always been super important. Now Jessica Kingsley Publishers has made an LGBTQIA+ History book for all ages that is in equal parts cute,informative ,inclusive  and deeply deeply important. I was given an E-ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review! Anyway on with the show!

This book is just gorgeous. Jessica Kingsley Publishers chose 17 flags to give everyone a good look at different aspects of the LGBTQ+ family. There are all the major flags and some you may not have seen before and honestly I almost cried at how inclusive and beautiful this book is. Even the endpapers containing the 17 flags are joyful.

All the illustrations by Jem Milton are gorgeous and everyone of all backgrounds seem to have been included. It is really powerful to see all these flags on a page and to hear about the creators. To see all the history especially of the newer flags mainly created on the internet treated with respect and care is so important and powerful.

The drawings are beautiful, the writing is easy to understand and informative and the whole book has a brilliant sense of joy. This is the perfect book to introduce anyone inntroducing young children to the flags and different identites of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Honestly this book is just so beautiful and just means so much to me. I wish I'd got to see something like this as a child and I am so pleased that children wil have the opportunity to see this book and feel included too.
