Is it petty of me to keep repeating that this beautiful movie by @Dreamworks is based on my book? The team of artists + animators + designers did an outstanding job + I want people to know that my book was the inspiration! Is that wrong? This is all new for me! #thewildrobot

Tim Walz said it best: Censorship has no place in our libraries. The Hate U Give has been banned in numerous librariesābut that wonāt stop me from sharing our truth. Our stories are meant to be heard. We will not be silenced.
ALT "Censorship has no place in our libraries. As a former teacher, I'm clear: We need to remember our history, not erase it." Gov. Tim Walz

One of my favorite moments from this year.
Weāve ensured no child goes hungry at school, supported our food banks, and invested in prepared meals for Minnesotans who need an extra hand.
In Minnesota, weāre not banning books ā weāre banishing hunger.

The Fourth of July is about celebrating the big, bold, inclusive experiment that is our American democracy. And it has always been an experiment. Our democracy has never been guaranteed, which means we canāt take it for granted. We need to keep fighting for it, keep improving it, and keep making sure it reflects the better angels of our nature instead of the worst. That, more than anything, is what America is all about.

.@NifMuhammad on book bans: "Youāre impacting an entire reading life and the lives that might come in contact with that reading life. So thereās an echo that goes far beyond just one person who cannot have this book." libraryjournal.com/story/uniā¦ @LibraryJournal #UniteAgainstBookBans

In my hometown of Sacramento, California, June 11th (today) is known as LeVar Burton Day!Ā Ā In honor of this special occasion, I'm reading aloud his profound, inspiring & sweet picture book "A KIDS BOOK ABOUT IMAGINATION!" @levarburton is a true literacy hero, his work on @readingrainbow continues to inspire millions of childrenĀ around the world to dive into stories! And after recently watching the Reading Rainbow documentary, "Butterfly in the Sky," I gained an even greater sense of respect and love for all the kindness & book joy LeVar has spread & continues to share all across the globe! Happy LeVar Burton Day!
