National Parenting Product Award Winner (NAPPA)Gilbert Baker always knew he wanted a life full of color and sparkle. In his small, gray, flat Kansas hometown, he helped his grandma sew and created his own art whenever he could. It wasnât easy; life tried over and over again to make Gilbert conform. But his sparkle always shone through. He dreamed of someday going somewhere as vibrant and colorful as he was.
Set against the backdrop of San Francisco during the gay rights movement of the 1970s, Gilbertâs story unfolds just like the flag he created: in a riot of color, joy, and pride. Today the flag is everywhere, even in the small town where Gilbert grew up!Â

National Parenting Product Award Winner (NAPPA)Gilbert loved visiting his grandmotherâs clothing store. Heâd sit next to her while she sewed and draw beautiful gowns and costumes. Gilbert dreamed of someday bringing these drawings to life. But one day, his father took away his art supplies and tore up his drawings. Surrounded by building blocks and Erector sets,  sports gear and slingshots, Gilbertâs colorful, sparkly, glittery personality started to fade, and he, too, became gray and dull and ?at, just like the Kansas landscape. âWhen I grow up,â he dreamed, âIâll go somewhere thatâs ?lled with color.â
