Smiling big because I’m finally holding my friend @sassinsf.com’s BEAUTIFUL picture book SHABBAT IS! So proud to add this to our home library alongside his incredible middle grade books. Welcome to the PB club, Andrew, and congratulations!!! ❤️ #kidlit #booksky

Librarians, booksellers, & educators— when you talk about banned books, please focus on the thousands of CONTEMPORARY books that are being banned right now.

For example….
#BannedBooksWeek

On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo
