None of it is shocking anymore. It's disheartening censorship that stems primarily from bigotry & people believing there is only one proper way to exist & wanting to silence those who speak about their experiences & interests. #kidlitchat

And if you're a published writer, illustrator, narrator, or translator for books, you can join Authors Against Book Bans to help make a difference. (Traditional, self-published, any genre, all welcome). www.authorsagainstbookbans.com#kidlitchat

I've seen suggestions on if you're trying to read and share banned books to help, to focus on the living authors/creators who are being impacted right now as that will make more of a difference. And that makes a lot of sense. #kidlitchat
