“From gay penguins to runaway peacocks, fierce poetry … Proud is a fabulous collection of LGBTQ+ stories for teens”

“Be still my rainbow-striped, queer-as-all heck beating heart! From the adorable to the achingly beautiful, from the funny to the fabulous… a collection of stories that speaks to so many different experiences.”

Five Leaves is pleased to welcome two authors from Proud – Fox Benwell and Karen Lawler, who will be joined by Charlie Morris from the publisher, Stripes. Charlie worked with the editor Juno Dawson in creating this book.

Everyone says it’s hard to get young LGBT+ people to events. Not so, especially when you throw in afternoon tea with scones…

This event is open to all, but will be of particular interest to LBGTQ+ young people

Tickets: £3.00 on the door, but please let us know you are coming on events@fiveleaves.co.uk
