At a time when teens are going through so much, it’s unfathomable to me to gut a YA section. Libraries are for everyone! I strongly urge the trustees of Hamilton East Public Library to move the books back!!! 🙏📚 #UniteAgainstBookBans #Freadom #PrivateLabel

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

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

📣Teachers and librarians! 📣 I’ve created a new FREE writing curriculum for classrooms called Write With FRONT DESK! 🙌 Packed w videos, lesson plans and PowerPoints on metaphors, personification and so much more—it’s all free and downloadable at the link in my bio! I made it with my dear friend Molly Callender, an award winning elementary school teacher! 🤩We’re so excited for kids to learn to write with the FRONT DESK series, alongside Mia Tang! 😍 Every unit comes with a video from me showing kids how I use literary devices in my own writing! It’s super FUN, relatable, and most of all, empowering! Because every child deserves to find their voice, as I did when I was a young, immigrant girl! 🥹 It literally changed my life and I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for my amazing teachers and librarians—so today, it’s my turn to give back! Together, let’s inspire as many kids to find their voice as we can! As always, thank you for what you do—you’re changing lives!!! ✍️❤️📚 #FrontDeskSeries #WriteWithFrontDesk #MiaTang #Writing #FreeCurriculum #KellyYang #Teachers #Librarians
