Meet extraordinary LGBTQ+ heroes from throughout history—51 biographies for kids ages 8 to 12.

You're invited to meet artists, athletes, scientists, activists, and more—all in the same book. LGBTQ+ Heroes introduces you to 51 LGBTQ+ role models from today and as far back as the 1800s who have used their voices to uplift and advance their community, their fields of work or study, and the world!

This collection of biographies for kids celebrates the lives and accomplishments of LGBTQ+ trailblazers whose dedication, impressive skills, and bravery have helped pave the way for a better future.

Fascinating biographies—Discover LGBTQ+ icons like writer Oscar Wilde, singer Billie Eilish, actor Elliot Page, scientist Alan L. Hart, astronaut Sally Ride, basketball player Jason Collins, activist Marsha P. Johnson, and so many more!

Ways to learn more—Each brief biography includes an inspiring quote and another way to learn about the person and their work, such as a book to read, a website to visit, or a video to watch!

Colourful portraits—Bring these heroes to life with beautiful, full-colour, illustrated portraits of each person.

LGBTQ+ Heroes goes beyond other biographies for kids to highlight people from around the world and across time. Who will your new hero be?
