For readers who see themselves between the lines and those still searching.
Each Rainbow Soup For The Queer Soul Goodie Bag is inspired by Lavender Library Press' debut collection: Rainbow Soup for the Queer Soul, a love letter to the LGBTQ+ community in all its colour, courage, and connection. These goodie bags are made for readers who crave representation, who find healing in words, and who know that sometimes the right poem finds you when you need it most.
Every goodie bag includes a paperback copy of Rainbow Soup for the Queer Soul (Book 1) plus a hand-picked mix of bookish treasures for reading, close reading, and note-taking, alongside a few novelty pride items to brighten your day.
Because finding yourself in a story is powerful, and you deserve a few good goodies along the way.
