We provide you with titles that incorporate the wide and varied lives of young people, non-fiction titles that challenge the status quo, and fiction that will break your heart and mend it together again.Īs a result of the sheer number of eligible titles and those ultimately chosen, for the first time in its history the committee separated these exceptional selections by age and created two Top 10 Titles lists. This year’s offerings give us everything from precious board books, touching picture books, astonishing true stories and biographies of remarkable people. The range of these contributions ensures that more young readers can see themselves reflected in the pages of a book. We’re delighted to see so many remarkable offerings in the expanding landscape of LGBTQIA+ literature for youth. This year’s committee evaluated close to 600 eligible titles and selected a total of 129 titles. The 2021 Rainbow Book List compiles some of the best LGBTQIA+ titles published in the USA and Canada between Jand December 31, 2020. This resource guide is meant to assist librarians, educators, parents, and others to ensure that everyone from babies and children to tweens and teens have access to selecting quality books with significant content regarding inclusion of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, and all that extends throughout the Rainbow spectrum. The Rainbow Book List, now in its 14th year, is an annual annotated bibliography consisting of quality LGBTQIA+ literature intended for readers from birth to age 18.
