Discussing events as recent as the May 2025 firing of the Librarian of Congress and the June 2025 Supreme Court LGBTQ+ storybook decision, this conversational book reveals patterns in the history of book challenges, while teaching resistance tactics. An essential read for parents, librarians, educators, and everyone committed to intellectual freedom." --  |c Amazon.
