Dear Humans,

There’s been a lot of news about censorship and book bans. Some school districts are removing books from classrooms and libraries for various reasons.

And it’s understandable. Books are dangerous and scary things. Books have scared the bejeezus out of me. They’ve told me that the way I’ve grown up to see the world is not the only way to see it and sometimes people do ugly things to each other. 

Those are scary things! Especially if you only want the world to be one way. 

But my hope is that you’re not that kind of person. My hope is that you’re up for a little bit of discomfort–the cold water of reality splashed on your face. If so, I’ve got just the books for you.
