Books are windows into different worlds and perspectives, so it can be troubling to comprehend that the books tackling important, sensitive topics are often the ones targeted for removal.
Therefore, empowering our children to recognize injustice and take action against book banning is crucial in instilling the values of speaking out for the words that are important to us and standing up for what is right.
And so, one beloved Bibliophile is giving a voice to little ones by reminding them that the power of stories is just too important to let anyone take away.
New York Times Best-Selling Children’s Author, Beth Ferry, joins our John Masiulionis and Little Forrest on Episode #223 of PR From The Heart’s Children’s Books Spotlight Series (as part of the program’s 6-Year Anniversary Celebration) to share her inspiring story, the release of her new children’s book, Roar for Reading (illustrated by New York Times Bestselling Illustrator, Andrew Joyner, published by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers), what the ROAR acronym means a and how we can empower our children to protect the stories that connect us amid the rise in book bans nationwide, the importance of not giving up and using a measured, thoughtful approach to address sensitive issues than resorting to anger or fear, plus much more.
We encourage you, our fellow neighbors, to support Beth by purchasing your copies of Roar for Reading and enjoying this empowering read with your little ones: https://bit.ly/4ev8DwM.
