Books to Celebrate Pride Month
This Pride Month, AAP-CA3’s Reach Out and Read San Diego program encourages you to share a story about inclusivity, representation, love, respect, acceptance and understanding – that is exactly what you will find in our Pride Month Book List.
Representation matters, and it is especially important in the books we give to our children, the stories we share with them and what we read to them.
Through our work with Reach Out and Read San Diego and First Book we continued to offer diverse and inclusive books that celebrate communities that are historically underrepresented.
