Adorable, and a wonderful way to teach kids about love and colors! Looked to be a few formatting corrections that needed to be made, but otherwise, I liked it!

Cute, a little too simple even for the younger crowd. The pictures were fun but a little tame for a LGBTQ title. Would have liked something more loud and proud.

Cute and colorful picture book for any little in your life. Wonderful message and beautiful pictures for little ones and reader to enjoy.

This lovely little board book teaches children about colors. There are a lot of books aimed at little ones that do the same thing, but this book also includes diversity, different kinds of families, and a message of inclusivity that I found wonderful! My children are always looking for families that look like theirs in the books that we read, and they found this book delightful, even though they are "too old" for board books. This would be a great addition to any children's book collection, particularly for those who want to encourage an attitude of openness and diversity for their children.

Though the writing is sometimes a little awkward, this adorable board book more than makes up for it with the selection and arrangement of diverse babies and toddlers with families that represent all kinds of structures. Sure to be a hit with little ones and their grown ups alike.

I can't wait to buy this book for my daughter and the other kids in my life. Simple, colorful, and proud...just what kids' books need more of!

Thank you Netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This is a beautifully illustrated children's book. Love the brightens of the pictures and the diverse family units. This is a Pride book with only same sex couples but it's great for all kids. Simple short sentences and diverse kids.

Pride Colors is a wonderful book to teach kids about colors, while displaying photos of queer families and diverse children. The narration is very sweet, well written, and empowering. I feel like this book is a bubble of love, pride, and happiness. I was smiling while reading it :) I would highly recommend it to any family with children.

A simply wonderful poem about love. Great photos, and even an explanation of the pride flag at the end.

Though this is a book about Pride Day, I found it to be a wonderful book about colors and love of your child. The children in the book are so cute and have the cutest costumes and clothing. This book tells of being yourself, love of parents and how special children are. I really liked this book and the message to the children.

Pride Colors is a decent little board book that both teaches colours and inclusiveness without being at all overbearing.

I didn't love all of the pages, but some were pretty cute, and I definitely love the subtle messaging here.

Thanks to NetGalley and Orca Book Publishers for providing me with a DRC of this book.

When I got this book I was so excited when I am gay as well! It was super cute to see an amazingly happy pride book! I think this is the kind of book that every kid needs to read. I hate how parents do not teach their kids how happy pride can be. I loved this book. Simple but amazing!

This is such a great book that is perfect in times like these. It may seem unnecessary to have a board book with LGBTQ representation but there are plenty of children who are raised by same sex couples. While some people might deem that as abnormal, this book shows that it's very normal and there's nothing wrong these couples. The pictures are so lovely too. It's a book I would definitely want in my children's collections

You might say, why do we need a picture book about Pride for children.

Because. Because there are children of Gay and Lesbian parents out there who would like to see themselves int he books they read, even if they don’t know how to ask for it.

Because there are children who need to know that there are others out there like them.

Because there are children whose parents love them, and take them to Pride with them, and it is part of them, so why not have a book celebrating it.

The pictures are delightful.

I wish there had been these books out when my daughter was small. I love how many books there are for children of LGBTQ parents. Recommended for everyone.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

This book is exactly what we need in literature for the very young. It takes a simple concept that is typical of early literacy books (colors) and uses that to embrace equity and explains what the colors of the pride mean. I'm so excited about this book and will buy it as gifts and otherwise.

I have a new nephew who just arrived, and I may have to get this book for him. Just adorable, and such a needed message for little (and big!) ones: you'll always be loved no matter who you love. Just makes me happy whenever I read it!

I received a digital ARC from the publisher via NetGalley.

Love is Love is Love is Love. The 'gentle rhymes' of this delightful board book have tremendous power to influence the young minds of our future. Accepting each other begins with accepting ourselves-- together we can make a safe, better world. This book is perfect for bedtime, or anytime. What a perfect gift too! I can see this being a great way for children and adults to bond and to share a special moment that will stay with them forever.

Sweet little story for littles about unconditional love! Celebrates gay Pride with the rainbow. Loved the photos of littles and I am sure they will enjoy seeing them, too! Wonderful book about acceptance and being one's self. Love is Love!

Perfect book is perfect . . . and it almost comes out right on my birthday! Lyrically written, concise text and lovely photographs with diversity in representation. Doesn't shy away at all from explicitly celebrating Pride and the history of the Pride flag and its color code. MUST add to any collection.
