Synopsis

What if the most dangerous thing in the world… was a library?
Late for school one day, Amy notices something she’s never seen before: the rusted lock on a long-forgotten door has finally given way. Unable to quell her curiosity, she steps in and finds an empty room, save for a single book underneath some dusty shelves. She opens it up, begins to read, and her world is changed forever. There’s just one problem: it's 2084. Physical books are forbidden. And Amy, has just discovered a library. In a society where books are dangerous and ideas are controlled, will Amy decide to keep her discovery a secret or stand up for the freedom to read?

With stunning oil pastel illustrations and a gripping, heartfelt story, Freedom to Read is a powerful celebration of books, imagination, and the courage to question the world.

Against the backdrop of the current climate in the United States where the freedom to read faces unprecedented challenges, this 56-page extended picture book (3,000 words) serves as a powerful tool to ignite discussions on the impact of book banning while nurturing a deep appreciation for the magic of storytelling. What if all books were forbidden? What if your school’s library was locked? How far would you go to protect your right to read?

This book is also available in a Ready-to-Use Laminated Storybook Walk Edition in both 11 x 17 and 18 x 24 at StorybookWalk.com. These editions can be either hung up on a school wall or placed in standard Storywalk frames.
