The Rainbow Project is a joint project of the ALA Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Round Table and Social Responsibilities Round Table. Each year they select The Rainbow List, books with “significant gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender content, and which are aimed at youth, birth through age 18.”
Here is their Top Ten list:
Cinnamon Toast and the End of the World by Janet E. Cameron
Far from You by Tess Sharpe
Grasshopper Jungle by Andrew Smith
I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson
Not Every Princess by Jeffrey Bone and Lisa Bone
Secret City by Julia Watts
Sweet Tooth by Tim Anderson
Tell Me Again How a Crush Should Feel by Sara Farizan
This Day in June by Gayle E. Pitman, illustrated by Kristyna Litten
We Are the Youth: Sharing the Stories of LGBT Youth in the United States by Laurel Golio and Diana Scholl










Enjoyed the PB “Not Every Princess” for young children. Really want to read “I’ll Give You the Sun.” All important titles.
