Magic Nights Publishing Celebrates LGBTQ+ Pride Month with Launch of New Children's Book, "Blake's Adventure with the Halloween Witch," Featuring Diverse, Multiracial Family Written by Two Gay Dads
This June, as communities worldwide celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month, Magic Nights Publishing, an LGBTQ-owned and AAPI-owned small business, is proud to release "Blake's Adventure with the Halloween Witch," a pioneering children’s book that champions the beauty of diversity and inclusivity through the enchanting tale of a multiracial family enjoying Halloween festivities.
“As authors from a multiracial LGBTQ+ family, our mission was to create a book that delights and educates while mirroring the diverse world we live in,” said Brandon Tate, author and co-founder, “This book is a celebration of all families and a step towards more inclusive children’s literature. With this book, we hope to encourage children to discover the joy of sharing and to see that sometimes, the best treats are not the ones you keep, but the ones you give away."

“I’ve learned that family is more than just the one you’re born with,” said Calvin Tate, co-author, artist and co-founder, “And seeing a family like ours represented in a children's book is a significant step towards more diverse children's literature. We hope, this story, especially during Pride Month, inspires other families to embrace and celebrate their uniqueness.”
