"Grandad’s Pride is joy and kindness on every page. Young readers will discover the history and the meaning of Pride, and find so many delightful details in the illustrations to savour and enjoy. Harry Woodgate has ensured, in the words and the pictures, that nobody has been left out. It’s more important than ever that every child, and every family, can see themselves in the stories they read, and know that they belong. As Grandad says, ‘let’s celebrate love, joy, hope and families of all different kinds.’ You would need a heart of stone not to be moved by this warm, bold, beautiful book!" -- Clara Vulliamy
