There are happily now many children’s books about Pride, but Robin Stevenson may be the author who has taken up the subject for the most age groups. Over the past few years, Stevenson, an award-winning author of more than 25 books in total, has published a board book, a picture book, a middle grade nonfiction book, and a young adult novel, all revolving around Pride.
If you buy just one kids’ book for Pride this year, make it Robin Stevenson’s new Pride Puppy! It’s an alphabet book with a fun story arc, plus a seek-and-find game, all wrapped up in a package bursting with diversity across LGBTQ and other identities. The main family that we follow through the book includes a female parent and a nonbinary parent, their two kids, and of course their dog—but they’re just a few of the many characters portrayed here.
