For #pridemonth we recommend RAINBOW ALLIES a #picturebook by Nancy Churnin + Izzy Evans. This poignant, empowering true story shows you don’t have to belong to a group to care for that group + stand w/it in times of danger + trouble. Guest review by author Deke Moulton. wp.me/p3X25n-beN #booksky

Rainbow Allies: The True Story of Kids Who Stood Against Hate

Rainbow Allies is a poignant, empowering true story that shows you don’t have to belong to a group to care for that group and stand with it.

Created a #KidLit Starter Pack of KidLit/YA Art Directors & Book Designers. Still small, hoping more join Bluesky 🤞🏼. To published illustrators out there; pls nudge your ADs? I'll nudge mine again as well. go.bsky.app/T792YaY P.S. I am not an art director, but there's no way to remove my headshot.
