📖 This Banned Books Week, we’re spotlighting the importance of the freedom to read by celebrating HSB authors whose books are banned or challenged across the US.

🌟 As an author whose work has been challenged and banned, Grace Lin is a champion of the freedom to read.

📚 Book bans deny young people access to stories that broaden their understanding of the world or help reflect their experiences on the page. We stand with authors, educators, and librarians in the fight to protect the freedom to read. You can join the fight by reading and supporting works that are being challenged.

📚 OUT TODAY! The newest picture book by Grace Lin follows a small stone Buddha that lands in a neglected part of a busy city street. As passersby begin to notice the little stone Buddha, they start to wonder: what if we each made a small change that brightened this shared part of our community?

A New York Times bestselling author and illustrator of more than 25 books, Grace is a magnetic presence at author events and school visits. Contact us to learn more about bringing Grace to your audience!
