ALA Rainbow Book List: Top Ten Titles for 2025

The 2025 Rainbow Book List, compiled by the American Library Association (ALA) Rainbow Round Table, consists of the team's top picks for young readers from birth to age 18 that celebrate LGBTQIA+ youth and families. This list includes the RRT's "Top Ten Titles for Young Readers" (tailored for readers from birth to middle school), and the "Top Ten Titles for Teen Readers" (for a young adult audience). Happy Pride, and happy reading!
