Happy Pride Month!
The Canadian children’s publishing industry has seen a significant increase in the number of books published for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth. In this month’s feature article, Em Hunter shares the middle-grade books they wish had been available to them during their tween years.
Our June Bookmark list of new releases highlights books that explore community and belonging, identity and self-discovery, cultural heritage, environmental stewardship, family connections, and empathy.
