Out on the Shelves: Rainbow books for kids recommended by our librarians

By WCL librarians

To celebrate Out on the Shelves, our librarians have chosen some of their favourite rainbow books for kids that we've read and enjoyed. We hope you enjoy them too!

As part of Out on the Shelves, we thought we'd put together a list of the children's books we've enjoyed that feature LGBTQIA+ characters and themes.

All of these titles are perfect to read if you're taking part (which we're sure you will be!) in our Read the Rainbow online challenge that's running throughout June.

This list features only some of the many rainbow books we have in our library collection. If you'd like to browse through more of the titles we've got, we've got you covered!
