Happy National Library Week to all the awesome librarians who make library visits so special for young readers. Your hard work means a great deal to many. 🤗

It's almost time for National Library Week! www.lynnlovegreen.com/post/nationa...

A Statement In Opposition to HR 7661 The freedom to speak and to read is a fundamental principle of the United States of America. That is why we have joined together — parents, students, educators, library workers, authors, free expression advocates, booksellers, and publishers — to stand in support of our nation’s school-aged children and teens and in opposition to H.R. 7661. H.R. 7661, if passed, will compel nationwide book censorship. It confuses obscenity with identity and stigmatizes vulnerable young people, particularly trans children and teens, based on who they are. It will continue to drain funding from our already underfunded schools and libraries. And it will threaten the creativity and critical thinking that are vital to education in the U.S.

Authors Against Book Bans has joined dozens of other organizations, nonprofits, publishers, & stores to issue this joint statement opposing HR7661

For those joining in on the #KidLitArtPostcard day fun this afternoon!

Digital illustration of young Black girl lying on field of grass and dandelion flowers. Her body is cropped to focus on face and upper torso. Her face displays a relaxed emotion as she gazes up at the clouds that cast shadows in various shapes. Her hair is done in two Afro puffs and she wears an orange-yellow graphic T-shirt that reads "illustrator and samillu.ca," referring to occupation and website of the artist.

My first time participating in #kidlitartpostcard day! We had a lovely warm Monday here in Toronto which inspired this sunny piece. (Fingers crossed for good weather going forward.)

Transgender flag in the background. In the forefront is an illustration from When Aidan Became a Brother by Kyle Lukoff, illustrated by Kaylani Juanita. The illustration depicts young Aidan being held in his mother’s arms as he, his mom, and his dad all hug each other. The mom and dad are smiling with their eyes closed while Aidan looks at the reader with a content expression on his face. Text towards the bottom reads, “Trans Rights are Human Rights.” A heart follows the text. Lee & Low Books logo. Illustration copyright © 2019 by Kaylani Juanita.

🏳️‍⚧️March 31st is #TransDayOfVisibility! Advocating for the safety and care of trans folks is absolutely critical, especially as trans voices are increasingly being censored and trans folks' rights are being taken away.⬇️🧵
