Synopsis

Celebrate Pride Month with this cheerful paper-over-board picture book that is as vibrant and joyous as a rainbow after a rainy day!

On Pride . . .

we celebrate each other,

just as we are . . .

together, under one rainbow sky.

An exuberant celebration of Pride and LGBTQIA+ communities

Join the dancing parade across pages of fabulous floats, rainbow garb, all-inclusive flags, and diverse people of all ages. Even an unexpected rainstorm can’t dampen the resilient spirits of the joyous neighborhood, because the sun will always break through the clouds and shine down on everyone under one rainbow.

Praise
★ "A diverse community of people come together on a sunny day to celebrate Pride...Salinas' bold, bright, mural-like illustrations command attention...Laden with delightful alliteration, Ayala-Kronos' clear, concise text begs to be read aloud. Messages of love, support, and resilience are effortlessly woven through, and readers—adults and children alike—will easily make connections between the book and their own lives...Uplifting, inclusive, and powerful."  -Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“A simple book with a simple message. A great purchase for libraries.” -School Library Journal

"A collective “we” traces a collective narrative of attending Pride in this joyfully bustling picture book...[M]usic plays, “flamboyant floats pass by,” and people share plentiful snacks. Even when the weather turns for the worse, the experience is one of unity and resilience: “together,/ we weather the storm.” Ayala-Kronos employs brief, descriptive sentences, while Salinas’s rainbow-hued illustrations depict the energy of the celebration as well as between the Pride-goers, shown with various abilities, body types, and skin tones. Individuals assemble on every page, aptly emphasizing themes of connection and community-building, all “under one rainbow.” -Publishers Weekly
