Picture Books & Lessons for Pride Month and All Year Long

As Pride Month comes to a close, it’s the perfect moment to reaffirm your commitment to celebrating LGBTQ+ stories—not just in June, but all year long. One powerful way to do that? By diversifying your home or classroom library with stories that reflect the full spectrum of identity and experience.

Our newest AmazeWorks Book Sets—Family Pride, Gender Expectations and Expression, and Gender Identity—offer picture books and ready-to-use lessons that spark meaningful conversations with children.

There is power in sharing stories. When children see themselves and others reflected in books, they are more likely to feel seen, heard, and valued in everyday life. These curated book sets help build healthy identities and foster empathy, respect, and belonging across differences.

Check out three sample lessons below, each containing background information, journal prompts, discussion questions, and extension activities.
