Milk affected political change from within the political system, becoming the first openly gay man to hold political office in the US. That dream would change history.” Milk’s dream was of equality at a time when gay men and lesbians were all but invisible in national life. The text reads: “Harvey Milk was an ordinary man, but he had an extraordinary dream.
The story begins with a barefoot Harvey Milk laying on a field of green. As a result, the brightly illustrated picture book gives young readers a strong sense of the importance of community belonging and community building, while also paying homage to a courageous figure in US history. Although the story focuses on Harvey Milk, a historically significant figure all children should learn about, it does so by positioning him within a vibrant community. Written by Rob Sanders and illustrated by Steven Salerno, Pride: The Story of Harvey Milk and the Rainbow Flag(2018), is an invaluable contribution to children’s literature that should be in every school and public library.
