Grandad's Pride by Harry Woodgate
Let’s be honest: explaining history and activism to a four year old can be tricky, but Milly and Grandad make it look like a breeze.
In Grandad’s Pride, Harry Woodgate delivers a masterclass in heart-warming storytelling. This highly anticipated sequel to the Waterstones Prize-winning Grandad’s Camper finds Milly discovering a rainbow flag in her Grandad's attic. When she learns that Grandad feels "too old" to travel to the big Pride celebrations in the city, Milly decides to bring the party to him. At Books2Door, we love this book because it doesn't just celebrate Pride: it celebrates the power of local community and the importance of intergenerational bonds.
A Celebration of Love and Legacy This isn't just a book about a parade. It is a story that gently introduces children to the idea that love is worth celebrating in every town and every family. For Early Years learners, the "colour-flooded" illustrations provide a feast for the eyes while the text provides a "mirror" for LGBTQ+ families and a "window" for everyone else. Whether you are looking for a bedtime story that promotes empathy or a gift for Pride Month, Woodgate’s work is a modern classic in the making.
Why This Book is a 2026 Classroom Favourite:
-
Educational Excellence: The story perfectly aligns with the UK curriculum's focus on "Understanding the World" and diverse family structures.
-
Sensitive Storytelling: It acknowledges the absence of "Gramps" with a gentle touch: making it a helpful resource for children experiencing bereavement.
-
Award-Winning Heritage: As part of a series that has won the British Book Awards Children's Illustrated Book of the Year, you can trust the quality of the art and the narrative.
The Bottom Line? Pride is about more than just flags: it is about family. At Books2Door, we are proud to stock stories that help every child feel seen and every family feel celebrated. Grab your copy of Grandad’s Pride today and start your own community celebration.
