BANNED BOOKS WEEK is a time for us to step up, engage in conversations, and find ways to stand up and speak out against censorship and book bans. I was fortunate enough to welcome back NYT bestselling author @stevesheinkin to my show, and we touched on some important issues surrounding book banning and censorship. I’ll be sharing the full interview on October 10th, so be sure to check it out on my YouTube channel. Kids not only need to see themselves in the stories they read, but they also deserve to learn about the true stories that have shaped the world we live in. History teaches us what to do, and what not to do. It helps us understand the mistakes of past generations while giving us a roadmap for navigating the future. Thank you, Steve Sheinkin, @ssheinkin for taking the time to talk with me! #etraintalks #literacyadvocate #bannedbooksweek #readingcommunity #nonfiction #stopcensorship #freadom #ethanminton #nonprofitsofinstagram
