Reviews

"Beautiful follow-up to Grandads Camper, filled with heart and purpose" * Families, Top Children's Book Picks for 2023 *
"The protagonists of Grandads Camper return in this tale of love, identity, and community. Woodgates upbeat art brims with color and, aptly, rainbow motifs, depicting a supportive community diverse in race, ability, and self-expression. This is a quiet yet moving read with a powerful message: You dont need corporate sponsorship or larger-than-life events to celebrate Pride; all you need is love. A winner from beginning to endand affirmation that Pride belongs in every community" * Kirkus, starred review *
