'Twas the night before Pride  Cover Image Book Book

'Twas the night before Pride / written by Joanna McClintick ; illustrated by Juana Medina.

McClintick, Joanna. (Author). Medina, Juana, 1980- (Added Author).

Summary:

A glittering celebration of queer families puts Pride gently in perspective -- honoring those in the LBGTQ+ community who fought against injustice and inequality. Pride Day is a day that means "Together, we are strong!" With bright, buoyant illustrations and lyrical, age-appropriate rhyme modeled on "'Twas the Night Before Christmas," it tackles difficult content such as the Stonewall Riots and the AIDS marches.
