Two picture books, two middle-grade novels, two graphic books (a novel and a biography), one short story collection, one translation, and five nonfiction titles are represented.Ĭoming-out stories have consistently made up a large part of GLBTQ literature, as have “problem novels” populated by characters defined by orientation. Most books on the 2009 Rainbow Book List are recommended for teens, including four titles published for adults. Of the authors, five are offering their first published novels or picture books, and seven are published for the first time by major presses. The 2009 Rainbow List includes titles from 26 publishers/imprints and 36 authors and illustrators. Featuring well-written and/or well-illustrated titles with authentic and significant gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgendered/queer/questioning (GLBTQ) content for youth from birth through age 18, this year’s bibliography presents 34 outstanding titles, published in the last eighteen months and representing a broad range of GLBTQ experience.
The Rainbow Project is proud to announce the 2009 Rainbow Book List, a joint undertaking of the American Library Association’s Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered Round Table and Social Responsibilities Round Table.
