![Similar design with decorative mauve heart in top corner and image of picture book Love, Violet in lower corner. Text in blue and red on soft gold box: “‘Book banning is about... holding up these myths that keep prejudice going. Prejudice depends on
you not seeing the humanity of other people. You have to have stereotypes.
You have to have lies [and] fear… Our stories do... the opposite. They humanize.’ Charlotte Sullivan Wild, author of Love, Violet” QR code.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hh2sxfzfl7m5iz5yilbkmuiy/bafkreidxdy3ucohzmfxtubfqh6bnrfwypdk7cutyb7gnsefl75hhxf2rbm)
![Similar design with three accept lines around the first line of text. Image of picture books What Are Your Words? on side. Yellow and white text on dark blue box: “‘[Diverse] books are for everybody. Everybody can identify with some piece of this book and learn something… and find common ground. That’s what stories do best. And that’s how we build a bigger community. That’s what I’m always trying to do with my books.’ Katherine Locke, author of What Are Your Words?” QR code](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hh2sxfzfl7m5iz5yilbkmuiy/bafkreihviltpy4z2ta2lwyspx6tja6sjqylrpz2yibttt63qv3f43efnka)

"The Supreme Court doesn’t have the last word. WE DO.
We can OPT IN to INCLUSION.
Inclusive classrooms boost everyone.
“LGBTQ+ people and families exist. ...[B]ooks that include LGBTQ+ people
should not be treated differently...
The Court’s decision does not require
our schools to abandon these efforts.
Parents, students, educators, and neighbors can encourage opportunities for learning about diverse people and families by staying involved with school districts, school boards, and in our local communities.” GLAAD"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hh2sxfzfl7m5iz5yilbkmuiy/bafkreicv72byd7upvycobnityubct2antnbechqmhso4bxyoqmi7kznbae)
![6. Top banner with covers of picture books. Footer, pink to yellow with black text: "Love can still win! [heart] Charlotte xoxo" A soft heart frames the word "love." The center image is of the Supreme Court building at twilight, with light inside the building, rainbow and stars above it, with colorful characters from all the books on the steps. A joyful scene.
