When you glance at your calendar, does it strike fear in your heart to see that a child in your life is having a birthday? Never fear! Books make great gifts - and I'm not just saying that because I'm a librarian!

In honor of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month, and as a show of support for the families and friends of those killed in the Orlando Massacre, I've put together a list of books about LGBT people, important historical events, and books written to provide information and support to anyone who is questioning their sexual or gender identity. 

Your read with your eyes first, right? Obviously, you do, but how important is cover art and design when choosing a book?

Are you a Gen-Xer or a Millenial? Do you remember books you loved to read as a child? Check out these titles to see if we included your favorite!
