The book tells the stories of individuals from queer history for a young adult audience and received critical praise including three starred reviews and five award nominations. Her first book, Queer, There, and Everywherecame out from HarperCollins Children’s in May 2017, and a new expanded edition will come out in June 2023. Being able to do that is what gets her up in the morning. Since many of these books are unfortunately banned in tons of school libraries, buying is often your best bet.Sarah Prager is dedicated to raising awareness of LGBTQ+ history through writing, speaking, and her app, Quist. There are teen romance books, books about penguins, and even coloring books - and every one of them is amazing. There are nonfiction books for young readers, ABC books for babies, YA novels that are heart-wrenching, and middle-grade novels that are silly (in the best way). It's my sincerest hope as a queer mom, journalist, and mother to a gay child that these books find their way into the minds and hearts of kids everywhere, no matter how they identify.įor this list, I chose books with tons of different representations.
It's truly amazing, and I feel overjoyed that I got to research, read, and review all of the amazing Pride books for kids and teens that are on this list.īut if I'm being honest, I'm also terrified these important books won't get into the hands of those who need them due to the new Don't Say Gay bills and book bans sweeping across the United States.
As a queer who came of age in the early 2000s, I could never have imagined Pride books for kids even existing, let alone the sheer number and quality of the books available.
