Today, we made good on this promise to Abigail. When the Rolling Protest bus tour stopped in Ocala, FL, we delivered copies of Once Upon an Eid, which will be the first book of her new local book club for banned & diverse titles. #ReadingOpensTheWorld twitter.com/rweingarten/st…

Abigail, a NAACP Youth Council member, told me she had to return a school library book after it was put on the Governor's banned book list. But DeSantis can't take away her joy for reading — AFT is sending her copies of the book to her so she can start her own book club.
