I have several places where I can review a book. One of them has a list of points the book could hit. One of those is Originality. And here is where Pride by Eric Huang and illustrated by Amy Phelps loses points. No, this book is not original. We have other books out there on the subject of pride, on the subject of celebrations, and expression of family. Therefore, why purchase/read this book? Well, if nothing else, the illustrations are really fun. But the way Huang formulates the story of a young boy and his fathers, friends and community is clever and updated.
I read via an online reader copy, as the book will be out May 2025. Therefore, I will have a while before I can view the final product. I think the highlights were gotten, the story will not change, but I want to see how large the book will finally be. It has a feeling of being a slightly smaller sized book and that might turn off some of the older readers. The parts we are privy to are both the big things of the theme and the seemingly smaller items: like what to wear to the pride parade. Which actually is fairly important to not just our narrator, but the bigger picture. 
The idea is simple and makes for a good introduction to the younger reader on the subject. It is not just how one person or even one group of people celebrate, show pride or are doing things, but how the community as a whole helps, is inclusive and even how fun it can be. We see all types of people and families (from biological to found). We see the flags, the diverse community and more. The end has activities and information that allows the reader to continue after the story is done and allows for a variety of ages to participate in the activities or learn more background. Nothing is off limits, just done in age appropriate ways.
