Happy Pride!

I look forward to so many things, things that are lovely and happy and serve as distractions from the news and general horribleness. Spring is obviously one of those things, the first few weeks when everything is green and in bloom. So to me things don’t get much better then when the weather is gorgeous and there are Rainbow Pride flags flying outside of my children’s schools.  It is without doubt one of the prettiest flags especially when so much goes along with it – living in a country where it is safe and encouraged to be yourself.

This is a lesson that is so easy to teach and to learn because it really is just about love. Love yourself, your family and your neighbours. Celebrate everyone and what makes us unique.  At WPL we are celebrating PRIDE and our LGBTQ community all month (and always!) with a gorgeous list of books for families to read and talk about.

Spring and reading and rainbows and love! Does it get any better?
