June is “Pride Month”! This month is a celebration and acknowledgement of the history of folks in the LGBTQ+ community, their positive and lasting contributions to society, and acceptance of those who identify within that community historically through present-day. For this article, I’ve picked out some of the best children’s picture books and chapter books, featuring LGBTQ+ characters and stories, available at WPPL to celebrate Pride Month!

We hope you check out these books!
