Have you checked out our website and the Book of the Month? This month we have 3 books to share. The first one is A peacock Among Pigeons to celebrate the International Day of Pink.

A Peacock Among Pigeons is a beautifully illustrated 2SLGBTQIA+ children’s book about celebrating differences and learning to love the feathers you live in. 🦚📚 #PrideReads #ChildrensBooks #LGBTQKids #BeYourself
