A sweet and celebratory story of a girl's first time marching with her two moms at Pride

One day in June, Emily takes the train into the city with her two moms to attend the Rainbow Parade. She loves how all the people marching are extra loud, extra proud, and extra colorful. But when her mama suggests they join the parade, Emily isn't so sure she belongs in the throng.
ย 
This joyful and affirming picture book about a family's first Pride parade, adapted for audio, reminds all readers that sometimes pride takes practice and there's no "one way" to be a part of the LGBTQ+ community.
