If you want to write children's books, please read this. I wrote this thread a year ago and not only is it still sound advice, it's possibly the most useful thing I ever said on here, and yes, that includes all the tweets about Popeye's Biscuits and Love is Blind.

“While police brutality disproportionately affects the lives of Black youth, it’s important to affirm Black boys outside the context of this trauma, so they may feel represented in stories of joy, triumph, and escapism.” @pragmaticmom ncte.org/blog/2020/05/b…

Everyone depends on the USPS. Seniors for their Social Security, veterans for their prescriptions, small businesses trying to keep their doors open. They can't be collateral damage for an administration more concerned with suppressing the vote than suppressing a virus.
