Handwritten quote on a white sheet with an illustrated face at the bottom and pink hearts around the text. The quote reads: "If you love a book, write a nice review. It gives the author encouragement for bad days when they want to take up scorpion petting." — Liana Brooks Illustration and lettering by Debbie Ridpath Ohi. A paintbrush lies across the page on a wooden surface.

So many parents, librarians, authors, and publishers worked to make this happen. Thank you to all of you who refused to back down and who are fighting for intellectual freedom.
