Fiverr’s second annual Pride children’s book, titled My Four Fabulous Uncles, takes inspiration from The Old Gays’ inclusive and uplifting content, telling a story through the eyes of a child who learns to embrace their differences and celebrate what makes them unique. (Graphic: Business Wire)
The book teaches a lesson of inclusivity to children at a critical time. The themes reflected in the story provide a counterresponse to discriminatory legislation, like Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Bill — commonly known as the “Don’t Say Gay” Bill — which bans conversations and teaching about sexual identity or gender in schools, and ongoing restrictions barring access to books representing the LGBTQ+ experience.
“The book’s core message is a universal one, but it very directly applies to the LGBTQ+ experience, especially right now,” said Michael “Mick” Peterson of The Old Gays. “If you have something that you want to share with the world, then don’t be afraid to go out there and shine. For members of the LGBTQ+ community, it’s especially important to stay true to yourself, despite anyone’s efforts to keep you from speaking your truth.”
My Four Fabulous Uncles explores themes of acceptance and identity through the story of a young student, Finley, who is afraid to share his beautiful voice after another student bullies him for his colorful clothing. Seeking the advice of his four fabulous uncles — characters inspired by The Old Gays — Finley develops the courage to embrace his differences and share his unique talents with his peers.
“It is our role as a global platform to ensure that we are uplifting and supporting talent, no matter their differences or where they come from,” said
“Working on projects like this, that have real impact on future generations, has always been a dream of mine,” said book illustrator
