📚 It’s Banned Books Week. Book bans don’t protect kids — they censor them. Stand with libraries, stand with readers, stand for the #FreedomToRead. ✊ #BannedBooksWeek #StopBookBans

#BannedBooksWeek is the perfect time to add a challenged book (or two) to your shelf. We’re partnering with @weneeddiversebooks.bsky.social to offer you 20% off select challenged titles from now until October 19: bookshop.org/info/banned-...

Huge fan of @authorjasonchin.bsky.social. He does a brilliant job of explaining complex ideas simply. “Hurricane” shares the impact of a hurricane on a the community of Hatteras Island off North Carolina. It creates a truly human story and the art is powerful and technical. #PicturebookPage…
