If we don’t want to repeat history, we must effort to learn from it. Knowledge of the past gives context to the present and allows us to discern patterns, archetypes, and truth. Embark upon a journey to read and study widely! 😍

I had the great honor of interviewing @nytimes bestselling author @AlanGratz on my #podcast a while back, & his words on #bookbanning still ring true (unfortunately). When BAN THIS BOOK, was published in 2018 Alan could have no way of knowing how relevant & important his story would still be today! BAN THIS BOOK is a relatable, compelling & fantastic #mglit read. A perfect #book to read & spotlight during #bannedbooksweek. You can watch my full #interview with Alan Gratz ➡️ youtu.be/hm0vbTfzPoE?si=jhKu… #teachers #FreedBetweenTheLines #freadom #literacyadvocte
