LGBTQIA+ representation
These seven recent YA titles are perfect for Pride Month in June — and for standing up to anti-LGBTQIA+ book banners all year round.

Rainbow Reads List
As part of our Rainbow Reads project, below is bibliographic information for each of the recommended books we've selected, gathered from The Horn Book Magazine and Guide/Reviews Database.

Rainbow Reads
It may be the last day of June and thus Pride Month, but that doesn't mean the celebration should end today. Visit intersectional, inclusive bookstores such as All She Wrote Books in Somerville, MA. Or consider incorporating Pride into the look of your home, office, library, or classroom. How you...
Five questions for Talia Dutton
M Is for Monster (Surely/Abrams ComicArts, 14 years and up) by Talia Dutton is a comic-format, gothic, sci-fi, horror story about family and identity that takes for granted that people should identify their pronouns, and is published by a new queer graphic-novel imprint (curated by Mariko Tamaki). Happy Pride! 1....
From the Editor - June 2022
Please join us next Wednesday, June 22, at noon EDT for the announcement of the 2022 Boston Globe–Horn Book Award winners. This year marks our fifty-fifth anniversary — it’s not the Newbery centennial, but certainly a point of pride. And speaking of Pride — we’re continuing to celebrate LGBTQIA+ voices...

A Note from Me (Jul 2, 2021)
Dear friends: ALA is behind us but the speeches remain, as ever, in the July/August issue of The Horn Book Magazine. (Has anyone seen a copy yet? I have not.) The September/October issue is already bearing down upon us, and I don’t even want to think about the amount of...

I admit I was immediately skeptical when I received a copy of the picture book Peanut Goes for the Gold by Jonathan Van Ness of Queer Eye fame, with illustrations by Gillian Reid. Though I’ve watched and enjoyed the show with my teenage daughters, I have a healthy suspicion of celebrity-penned children’s books. My leeriness was coupled with an...
LGBTQIA+ books that I have read
Editor’s note: Thirteen-year-old Onyx (they/them) has been keeping track of the books they’ve read during their pandemic year. Onyx notes the gender identities and/or sexual orientations represented in the books, their recommendation for age level, and whether or not the stories include romance. They’ve even created their own rating system, explained below. We’re delighted that Onyx has given us permission to share their list with our readers. YA means young adult books, middle grade means middle-school books, kids means kids books. The star✨ means...
A Note from Me (Jun 11, 2021)
Dear friends: So sorry to have missed you last week (dummy-reading-duty called!), but I hope everyone had an enjoyable long weekend/Memorial Day holiday. One of your number took perplexing exception to something anodyne I wrote here referencing Kamala Harris; I think our Vice President is in all ways wonderful, and...
