Review For Finding My Rainbow
"Finding My Rainbow: A
Journey of Courage, Acceptance, and Pride" is a story that brings us to a
small town in Alabama; it lets us walk alongside a young boy, Josh. Josh is on
a tough journey — he is figuring out who he is and how to accept himself in a
place where not everything can be openly discussed.
The book does more than just tell
Josh's story; it pulls us into the sights and sounds of his world — from the
scent of jasmine in the evenings to the sounds of cicadas. Josh uses his diary
to pour out his thoughts and feelings — he finds courage in these pages. He's
not alone, though; his cousin Stacey and later his family, provide the support
he needs.
Through "Finding My
Rainbow," we see the world through Josh's eyes — a world that's full of
challenges but also full of opportunities to find courage and acceptance. This
isn't just a story about growing up; it's about the bravery it takes to be true
to yourself.
This book reaches out to young
readers, especially those between the ages of 8 and 13. It's a call to
understand and support LGBTQ+ youth. It tells them they are not alone and
encourages all of us to create a world where everyone can find their rainbow. Through
its simple yet powerful narrative, the book aims to touch hearts and change
minds; it shows us how love — unconditional and unbounded — can lead the way to
acceptance and pride.
