I just wanted to give a shout-out to Sally for sharing these programs with us. I've gone to quite a few and this one in particular was excellent!
Bridget Hodder shared some of her own and co-author Fawzia Gilani-Williams's family history. She read their new picture book, *The Promise* (Kar-Ben, 2023), aloud. Then she talked about the importance of standing up to organized book challenges -- not alone, but with allies -- and resisting the urge to self-censor. Thank you, Sally! Shabbat Shalom!
