- Mychal Threets held my book (🤯!!!)
- Our smiling faces in PW Daily 😎
- Reading my book aloud makes me feel weirdly powerful 🪄👶

Today is a good day to make Mychal Threets proud of you. Read a book that brings you joy. Some people read by listening. Some people read by touch. Some people read with their eyeballs. All reading is reading. Remember your meds and have some water!

Libraries host food drives, have reading challenges with certificates for free burgers & pizza to encourage kids to read, have lunch-at-the-library programs in the Summer, have seed lending libraries to help grow your own food…

Libraries are adamant our neighbors be fed, that they never go hungry 💛

Happy Veterans Day to all those who serve and have served ✨

They each have a story. I cannot help but think of their mental health. They have their worries, their grief, their struggles. They are human, just like us ❤️‍🩹

I hope their minds will be kind to them every day. Thank you for your service 💚

This comment means the world! The library is for everyone. For autistic you, ADHD you, dyslexic you, neurodivergent you 💚

It is difficult for some to use a library voice, to whisper. THAT’S OKAY. You belong in the library, we will work together. I admire YOU 😊

Take a look, it’s in a book 💛

In a world full of terrible role models for young people, I’m so glad there are also smart, joyful and empathetic people like Ms Rachel and Mychal Threets.

@mychal3ts.bsky.social and @maggietokudahall.bsky.social so generously shared their book and library wisdom on a panel about book banning with @carolinekpritchard.bsky.social and I to launch our book just days before this visit cancellation.

Grateful for our bookish community!
If you and your children are not ready for a particular book, that is okay. It is not okay to limit the access to books, stories, and experiences for other families. Every book is not for everyone, but every book is for someone.

Why Did These Authors Have Their School Visit Canceled? They Were Talking About Their Book About Book Bans.
Country Club Elementary School in California's Bay Area canceled an author visit moments before it began. Why? It covered book bans.
