Product reviews for It’s More than Flags and Rainbows

A positive and purposeful book with the occasional dollop of humour added throughout. Almost every sentence and paragraph needs highlighting for its ideas, provocation, or information. Ian’s experience of growing up with homophobic bullying, and finding the courage it takes to come out, brings home the absolute need for every school to address LGBT+ identities as a core part of their approach to diversity, equality, inclusion, and belonging.

I wish had been given this book as a core text at the start of teaching. It would have been simultaneously enlightening and affirming of my values and passions within education. Furthermore, the explanations of terminology and the considered reasons for doing or not doing particular actions are very clear.

This is a brilliant book! I found it easy to read. A useful way to foster inclusion at any school or organisation that values all children and young people, outside or in.
