I challenged myself to read (or re-read) one banned book for each day of Banned Book Week. I found joy, love, anger, hate- every aspect of humanity in these beautiful books. Every person deserves to see themselves reflected in books. #nocensorship #freepeoplereadfreely

Day 6: My favorite independent bookstore showcases banned books. So many amazing books! I picked “And Tango Makes Three” by Peter Parnell, Justin Richardson, and Henry Cole, a true story about two male penguins at the Central Park Zoo who adopt a baby penguin. #bannedbookweek #freepeoplereadfreely
