[FedericoErebia | PEDRO&DANIEL @FedericoErebia]

Soft censorship is an insidious by-product of the book-banning movement that affects LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and intersectional book creators disproportionately.

YOU CAN HELP THEM, OFTEN TIMES FOR FREE.
📚Buy their books.
📚Post about those books.
📚Make a library purchase request.
📚Write reviews about those books!

The graphic shows some of my favorite books that have been challenged, banned, or are at risk.

List other books you would like to see in the next graphic I make!

“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.
