Twas the Night Before Pride by Joanna Mcclintick
A glittering celebration of queer families puts Pride gently in perspective--honoring those in the LGBTQ+ community who fought against injustice and inequality.Pride's . . . a day that means "Together, we are strong!"
This joyful picture-book homage to a day of community and inclusion--and to the joys of anticipation--is also a comprehensive history. 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. On the night before Pride, families everywhere are preparing to partake. As one family packs snacks and makes signs, an older sibling shares the importance of the march with the newest member of the family. Reflecting on the day, the siblings agree that the best thing about Pride is getting to be yourself. Debut author Joanna McClintick and Pura Belpré Award-winning author-illustrator Juana Medina create a new classic that pays homage to the beauty of families of all compositions--and of all-inclusive love.
Juana Medina was born and raised in the Colombian capital of Bogotá. She got in trouble at school because she drew cartoon renditions of her professors. All of the scribbling (and trouble) paid off in the end. Smick! is illustrated by Juana Medina. She studied and taught at the Rhode Island School of Design, worked as an illustrator and animator for clients in the United States, South America, and Europe, and presently teaches at George Washington University's Corcoran School of the Arts and Design. Juana Medina is a Washington, D.C. resident.
