This is the (windstruck) face of a woman who just stood behind the Governor of Colorado as he signed into law a Freedom to Read bill that places stronger protections against book bans for public schools within her state.

Did I get to hold my book for the first time yesterday? Yes.
Did I immediately take her to the botanic gardens so I could stare lovingly at her during golden hour? Also yes.

I spent yesterday at the CO State Capitol testifying in support of SB25-063. Thanks to our efforts, this Freedom to Read Bill has passed through the House education committee and will now proceed to the House floor.

So what you are telling me is that my mom not only bought teenage me a Christmas gift that would eventually spark my obsession with sprayed edges but that she bought me the book that would eventually spark EVERYONE'S obsession with sprayed edges.
This is such a cool story!

More books I inhaled in one sitting: IF NOT FOR MY BABY by Kate Golden (aka the Hoziermance) coming out this August. I curled up in bed early last night to read and then suddenly it was 2am and I had reached the end because I could not stop. Romance fans, keep an eye out for this one this summer! 📚

Not sure how to write a letter of support?
That's okay—here's an example! It can be as simple or elaborate as you want it to be, and clicking send doesn't have to feel scary. Remember, numbers matter here, so what's important is that you're sending it at all! (4/4)
Thank you!

![An example letter to send to a senator:
Dear Senator [name],
My name is [insert name]. I’m a Colorado resident and the author/illustrator of [briefly describe your books]. I’m writing to show my support for SB25-063, and to urge you to stand up for the right to read in our state.
The freedom to read is very important to me. [Insert a relevant anecdote or reason why protecting school libraries and standing up against book bans is so important to you personally. This can be a few sentences or even a few short paragraphs long. You’re a writer—feel free to get creative!].
I am proud to be a Coloradan, and I hope you will support SB25-063 so our state can join the many others that have passed “right to read” legislation.
Thank you,
[your name]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ypgep3zhjop7etmo7btmkrs2/bafkreid55k42ukl6fp5tp3uu6raxkmvcza5oklzyfpscdx7g7zi2msvrey@jpeg)
