📚🌈 HMCRA kicked off Banned Books Week by celebrating stories, representation, and the freedom to read!

A huge thank you to authors Sarah and Ian Hoffman for joining our community to share two books from their Jacob series—Jacob’s New Dress and their newest book, Jacob’s Missing Book—and to talk about their experiences with book bans and why access to diverse stories matters.

At a school named for Harvey Milk, we’re proud to celebrate books that help kids see themselves, understand others, and discover a bigger world. ❤️📖
