I am a school librarian in a progressive school district grades K-8 and I have a decent selection of LGBTQ books. A third grader approached me recently and asked me if there were any books with people who “have crushes on each other” that also have queer characters. Because our school goes up to 8th grade, I do have books like that but they are in our young adult section and only 5th and above with permission slips can check them out. I am just wondering if there are any kind of books , especially graphic novels, that might feature some kind of lgbtq puppy love that would be appropriate for this reader?

Look into TJ Klune’s House in the Cerulean Sea. Very sweet.
*”I do have books like that but they are in our young adult section and only 5th and above with permission slips can check them out.”*
That doesn’t sound like a progressive school district to me. Do books for the same age range with *straight romance* have the same restrictions?
