This is Our Rainbow: 16 Stories of Her, Him, Them, and Us
A collection of 16 middle-grade stories features diverse characters across the gender identity and sexuality spectrums. The plots and themes are refreshingly wide ranging: coming out, crushing, the desire for a cat, friendship, family, finding comfort in one’s own skin, and more. This welcome anthology offering both entertainment and affirmation includes contemporary realism and fantasy, and one graphic short story and one story in verse. ©2022 Cooperative Children’s Book Center
