A Year of Pride and Joy is an anthology sharing joyful contributions from 52 contemporary LGBTQIA+ voices, including Olympic gold medalist diver Tom Daley, author and historian Blair Imani, and singer Rina Sawayama. Edited by award-winning children’s author Simon James Green, this buoyant title celebrates the joy, talent, and contributions of members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Each of the 52 entries—one for each week of the year—is tied to a particular season, event, international day, or week, including: 

• Feel the timeless joy of old movies with actor Stephen Fry and discover his all-time favorite classic movies on Global Movie Day.
  
• Discover the joy of knitting with Olympic gold medalist Tom Daley, then follow a beginner’s step-by-step knitting guide.
  
• Find the joy of pets with singer Rina Sawayama, then consider which pet is right for you.
  
• Experience the joy of food with actress Miriam Margolyes, then uncover a recipe to her famous chicken soup with matzo balls.

Vibrant illustrations are paired with the engaging text. Whether you read an entry a week or pick it up whenever you are feeling in need of joy, this is a book to treasure all year round.
