Aww, I loved this book! I‘ve never heard of it so thanks for introducing this to me @TheBookHippie 🤗. It would have been fun to read when I was a kid. Anastasia is hilarious and the end was very touching. I‘ll be checking out more in this series. 5⭐️ P.S. Why was it banned? I can‘t figure it out. #ChildrensClassicRead2024 #bannedbooks

Anastasia Krupnik | Lois Lowry

This definitely has a 1970s-1980s feel to it but in a good way. Anastasia is one of those opinionated child characters that you like but also sometimes wish would just chill out. Overall, this was a fun, quirky story and the parts involving Anastasia's grandmother were especially poignant.

TheBookHippie I did adore it so! 3d

Seabreeze_Reader It boggles my mind that this book has frequently been on #bannedbooks lists. I sometimes wonder if school libraries will continue to exist because at some point there won't be any books left that haven't been banned. 2d

Love it! Read #BannedBooks

lil1inblue My mom had a friend who lived in an area with a lot of book bans. As soon as a new list was released, she would buy every book on it for her kids. 💖 1w

CatLass007 This definitely something to keep and share! Thank you. 1w

ChaoticMissAdventures @lil1inblue I love this!! I read many of the books out of curiosity. Most of them are banned by racists and homophobic people who need a new hobby. 1w

This topic 🔥 “in me brain“ (EA Poe). Center: a copy of the shirt I proudly wore (now passed on to a younger teacher) every single day I introduced a banned book to my students. All of the books above I have proudly and unreservedly taught to my 7th, 8th, 9th, and 11th graders. In 2023, the # of banned books has ⬆️ by 65% from 2022. Visit the ALA if you want to get involved. 👊

Milk and Honey | Rupi Kaur

From an article I read this morning, 13 more books are now banned from Utah school libraries. The most disturbing part of the equation is the original language suggested for the updated law was for these books to be “destroyed“ which was later changed to “disposed of.“ However, school libraries are not allowed to sell or donate the books. It sounds like something straight out of Fahrenheit 451.

atenelli I am, of course, teaching to the choir here, but I am so disgusted by these events. Have these people forgotten history? https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/book-burning 1mo

atenelli And as Heinrich Heine, a famous German poet said: “Where they butn books, they will also ultimately burn people.” 1mo

Seabreeze_Reader @DaveGreen7777 @atenelli Thanks so much for commenting and sharing your POVs. 🙂 1mo

Reggie When I saw this book of poetry was on the list I thought they must hate girls. I took this book to work a long time ago because we had some really judgmental girls and read a poem or two from this book. The real short one-Let‘s not make war zones out of each others bodies. The guys got it, the girls, not really. lol 1mo

Seabreeze_Reader @Reggie Thanks for commenting. 🙂 I also don't understand why they target certain books and not others. There is only one male author on the list though. Craig Thompson who wrote “Blankets.“
