Voices heard from athletes to scientists to artists to entertainers. We get their brief bio and then maybe a line or two about their rainbow identity. I think I like the activists bios the best because they are just regular people like you and me (not that athletes and entertainers aren't regular people), but they are making incredible steps forward for our freedoms - often at great cost for themselves. Thank you.
I have to say that the illustrations done by multiple artists are just gorgeous.
There is also a section to write down your own ideas. Terms that you should know and a little about GLAAD.
Rebel Girls Celebrate Pride is a quick and fun read. This is a great beginner's book and introduction to rainbows.
