House Bill 7661 and Senate Bill 4925 will give the Federal Government the power to deny your children access to books. We need you to contact your legislators to stop these Federal Book Ban Bills! @everylibrary.bsky.social made it easy to do. stopfederalbookbans.us

Stop the Federal Book Ban Bills!

We made it easy to take these four actions to fight against HR 7661 and S 4925. Stand up for your right to read!

Have you entered the #PBParty contest yet? I love how people join from around the world. Where do you live and what genre did you submit? What else do you write or illustrate? You have until 8 pm Eastern to enter. Good luck. :) mindyalyseweiss.com/...

When his adopted mom forgets to feed him on time, worried Winston must trust that his food bowl will always be filled and that he doesn’t need to hoard, inhale, perform, or panic to receive the care he needs. A story about overcoming anxiety after food insecurity. #ownvoices #q #pb #DVPit.

LATE BIRD is sick of Early Bird getting all the worms--and all the glory. But don't worry, Late Bird has a plan. Forget the alarm clock, this calls for a catapult. Look out world, here comes Late Bird! THE BAD SEED x THE VERY IMPATIENT CATERPILLAR #DVPit #ND #PB

Images of LATE BIRD looking for worms and getting increasingly agitated as he doesn't find any. Another image of LATE BIRD sweaty and out of breath saying "I made it!"

There is a lot of amazing stuff out there on #DVpit today, but there's a chance I might miss your post! If you think we are a good fit, I would still be delighted to have you query me. Remember the algorithm or number of likes doesn't define your success or the viability of your book. You got this!
