Illustration from Blair Braverman's book "The Day Leap Soared". A dark grey Alaskan husky with brown ears is leaping over water with closed eyes and a serene smile. Her wavy reflection is mirrored below. Above her is a big full moon, and a sky at twilight full of colorful stars. She's framed by big trees the color of the sky. You can see where she leaped off of the bank on the left side because she's left pawprints on the snow in her wake.

Illustration of a child sitting, wearing a balaclava with antennae in a sandbox, smiling and shedding a single tear, holding a waving ant. There is a row of ants walking towards a sand castle and entering it. There are kids on a swing and a slide in the background.

A crab looks around obviously lost. He's playing a trumpet in the ocean, alone. The text reads "Crab wasn't lost."

Illustration of four stylized axolotls playing underwater. One rests gently on the bottom looking at a cute orange copopod. One has a dancing vibe. One is showing the dancing friend a cool plant. One is nuzzling another copopod. The water is green, loose moss floats about. The axolotls are various shades of pink and yellowy beige with bright pink and orange gills. Art by Gina Perry

PETITION: Don't Let the Federal Government Regulate Your Reading Not one country's freedom and liberty has ever been increased by banning books.

🚨 Don't let the American government decide what books you & your family are allowed to read

HR 7661 would let the federal govt ban books nationwide!
