Cover of PRIDE: The story of harvey milk and the rainbow flag by rob sanders
PRIDE: The Story of Harvey Milk and the Rainbow Flag by Rob Sanders is a joyful picture book about courage, community, and belonging. Stories like this help kids learn empathy and respect. Removing them doesn’t protect children, it limits understanding.

The #freedomToRead movement needs to pay attention to what we might call "bitbanning" as well as bookbanning: restrictions on library computer access by censorware and usage monitoring.

Thank you for the information on Ursula Nordstrom, I love adding to my bookish knowledge.
Her goal of elevating books for young people reminds me of Helen Ferris of the Junior Literary Guild (not making a comparison).
