’Twas the Night Before Pride
’Twas the Night Before Pride by Joanna McClintick and illustrated by Juana Medina is a rhyming picture book that riffs on the classic holiday poem as a child’s family prepares for Pride. Warm, detailed art shows queer families, community, and history, while the text balances excitement with simple explanations of why Pride exists. Parents and educators appreciate its joyful tone and the way it roots celebration in resilience and love. It’s best for early elementary read-alouds and can anchor Pride-themed story times. Some families may want to read it privately first to prepare for questions. Pairing it with crafts, parades (virtual or local), and conversations about inclusion extends the impact.
