About the Banned Books Tour
Since book bans are rising in America, Penguin Random House started an initiative called the Banned Wagon where a truck carrying all the banned books goes around cities trying to educate and encourage people about reading the books and saving the stories. The themes of the banned books revolved around racial inequality, teen pregnancies, and LGBTQ+ which is why it is so important for people and kids to read about the topics and learn from diverse perspectives.
The initiative aims to fight the government censorship by distributing free banned books and other goodies while highlighting the importance of representation and knowledge of sensitive topics at appropriate ages.
The Banned Books Box
Book influencers were sent out this Kit containing a banned book, a poster, a set of postcards, stickers, and a tote bag to build engagement and strengthen the cause. They were encouraged to mail the postcards to their local politicians about the bans and laws. All the items came with a QR code that after scanning, leads to a donation of a banned book.
