This is a fun photo with Crystal Maldonado and Kate Fussner.

It celebrates "book fashion," with my PEDRO & DANIEL blazer and their book dresses. Unfortunately, you can't see Kate's book is printed on her purse!

So cool to be in an article with @RyanSeacrest and @ambsmcbride

“Now more than ever, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and other marginalized or underrepresented voices need encouragement to create their high quality books for children”

[Ernesto Cisneros: @Author_Cisneros]

As an author, I write stories to spark curiosity, challenge perspectives, and connect with readers on a deeper level. But when books are banned, something precious is taken from all of us.

Book banning silences voices, erases diverse experiences, and limits our freedom.

[FedericoErebia | PEDRO&DANIEL @FedericoErebia]

Books by and/or about BIPOC, Queer, and intersectional individuals are at risk of book challenges and bans.

Free and easy ways to support them:

📚Make a library purchase request.
📚Write a review.
📚Share on social media.
