Don’t let the book banners rob your kids’ education! Support teachers and librarians on the front lines and SPEAK UP against book banning. My speech last night at the Somerville Theatre in Boston—in front of 400 people! 💪📚 #FinallySeen #Freadom #StopBanningBooks Simon Kids

Happy National Library Week!!! 🤩🤩🤩 I wouldn’t be where I am today if it weren’t for libraries and librarians. You gave me hope when I was a kid. You gave me kindness when I was alone. You give me strength every day. I love you, I’m with you, and I celebrate you!!! ❤️📚🙌

Help. It’s never been harder to be a MG author. The latest blow— Goodreads erasing MG from the Goodreads Choice Awards—comes after so many gutting attacks, decisions and policies that are crushing discoverability of our books. If you love MG, if you want kids to have books that reflect the world around them, we need you to shout from the rooftops about the books u love! Comment below w ur favorite new MG book! Let’s save middle grade together! #MiddleGrade #Publishing

Real talk, parents: the minute we start banning books, we’ve lost. How can our kids possibly look to us to be the source of courage if we’re afraid of children’s books? 😅 We need to be the person our kids can come and talk to about ANYTHING. #FinallySeen #OutIn7Days Simon Kids

Happy National School Librarian Day!!! When I was a little girl, you were my biggest cheerleader! You were my shoulder to cry on when things got tough. I hope you realize what a difference you’re making in so many kids’ lives and how much I love and appreciate you! ❤️📚

There is a price for not seeing yourself in a book. Kids pay it every day. That bill doesn’t just go away. It’s a part of you. It’s like a credit card debt, except it robs you at the core of your identity. #RepresentationMatters #Freadom #FinallySeen #FrontDeskSeries
