It’s #BannedBooksWeek and my 10yo is out and about in her “Read Banned Books” tshirt. There are lots of kids books banned for seemingly ridiculous reasons but there are also so many banned for more serious, often bigoted reasons. It’s all bad and an affront to the #FreedomToRead

Huge congrats to @jengelmattern.bsky.social on her compelling debut novel!!!! 🥳
