The GLBT Round Table of the American Library Association has published its first “Rainbow List” of the year’s best LGBT-themed children’s and young adult books. (Since this is the list’s inaugural year, it in fact includes books of the past three years.) Thanks to K. T. Horning of Worth the Trip for making the list available (with permission) even before the ALA has it on their site.
There are some inexplicable exclusions, like The Different Dragon, by Jennifer Bryan, a charming tale of a boy and his cat in search of adventure. (I reviewed it last February.) Still, all of the books that are there are worth a look. Kudos to the ALA for honoring them.
