January #bannedbookblock is for the children's book series #captainunderpants which routinely appears in the top 20 most banned books because the main character is in his underwear and supposedly it encourages children to question authority figures.
Last #bannedbookblock of the year is for The Complete Book of Cats (yes this was really banned, and yes it is crazy). More blocks coming next year to support #freedomtoread

Quilt block featuring a background fabric covered in text, and flames pieced from yellow, light orange, and orange fabric.
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is the banned book for November. It says so much about censorship when a book about censorship is banned.

Quilt block featuring 2 skulls and an hourglass, whose time has run out, inside a heart.
This month's banned book block is for They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera. If you have never read it, it is a fantastic read and prepare to be totally choked up by the end, because the title doesn't lie.

This month's #bannedbookblock is for "Last Night at the Telegraph Club." Banned for LGBTQ+ content. It is a beautifully written story of what it means to be Chinese American in the 1950s when you don't want the standard 'American Dream'.

The #bannedbookblock series continues with 'Where the Wild Things Are' targeted in the vast majority of cases because it "encourages disobedience in children" and in a few cases for "it's depiction of food insecurity".
Book banning is an coaster without breaks, make sure to support freedom to read.
This month's #bannedbookblock is for Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See? Banned because the author has the same name as someone who wrote on Marxism. This happened in 2010. If you wonder what book banning looks like, this is it.
