Banned Books
My parents taught us to read before we started school. Pizza Hut ran promotions that got us to read more in exchange for more slices. Reading Rainbow helped us explore new genres and and adventures at scale. Our treasured but not appreciated enough teachers guided us to find deeper meaning in every word and page. This reading journey has been one where we have peered from behind the eyes of protagonist of all shapes and colors. We have been with them as they conquered dragons, faced racism head on, rebuilt fallen societies, discovered their own self and identity, and weeped with them at every loss.
