Sign the Petition Ensure transparency and change in Georgia High School HRRB book banning process

www.change.org/p/ensure-tra...

Image of books locked in a chain. Image reads, "Ensure transparency and change in Georgia High School HRRB book banning process."

Hey! You! Please help circulate this petition?

Our reading bowl in GA has (very selectively) eliminated titles from the list this year, despite the fact that they were on the state awards list.

Including, ironically, @samiraahmed.bsky.social's THIS BOOK WON'T BURN.

Sign/repost the petition?

Lost my longhand draft

I have!

I'm planning the nerdiest kidlit trip ever, and I'm very excited.

Hey! Do me a favor and drop the name of your favorite author who lived or worked in London?

Does anyone know British #kidlit folks who can help me?

I’d like to make a map of children’s book creators who lived/worked in London. Milne & Nesbit & Blake & Streatfield & Travers & Burnett & Barrie &&&…

But someone must have done this before, right? Pass this on and help me find someone?

More. Of. This.

14 of mine. How about you?

My grandmother was a huge fan of Marcia Brown, and also a children’s librarian near LA, where authors sometimes toured. These are some of my most prized possessions.

Probably not unrelated to how I ended up writing #kidlit!

My grandmother was a huge fan of Marcia Brown, went to meet her, and got my copies signed. Pretty special.

I have a signed copy!

Happy Monday morning #BookSky What are you doing this week to protect the right to read?
