Rainbow List
Pleased to see that Susan Juby's Another Kind of Cowboy has made the 2009 Rainbow List .
What's that? You don't know what the Rainbow List is?
Juby's book also made the American Library Association's 2009 list of Best Books for Young Adults.
Well-deserved honours, and a much nicer reception than the book had closer to home last year when it was pulled from a middle school library in Stettler, Alberta. (Freedom to Read, anyone?)
Hey, Susan, I'm thinking somebody should be making this book into a movie ... what do you say?

The annual Rainbow List presents current well-written and/or well-illustrated books, with significant and authentic GLBTQ content, which are recommended for people from birth through eighteen years of age.
