A picture-book history of the rainbow flag

Rob Sanders’s picture-book account connects the rainbow flag’s beginnings in 1978 with activist Harvey Milk and flag designer Gilbert Baker, then traces its wider reach and role in the present day. The flag provides a way into a broader history of LGBTQ+ visibility and the ideas of inclusion, acceptance, equality, and pride associated with it. Framed as both a story about a symbol and a brief account of the people behind it, the book introduces young readers to a piece of social activism and its continuing public significance.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young readers interested in LGBTQ+ history and symbols of inclusion.
  • Children exploring social activism through picture books.
  • Families and educators seeking a book about the history of the rainbow flag.
