On this bonus episode of the KidLit Love podcast, we’re honoring the right to read with Sabrina Baeta and Tasslyn Magnusson of Pen America. 

PEN America stands at the intersection of literature and human rights to protect free expression and champions the freedom to write, recognizing the power of the word to transform the world, something we wholeheartedly believe and embrace on this podcast.

Come listen as we talk about the work PEN America is doing to support readers and writers, the alarming statistics around book banning and what we can do to help.

You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here: https://www.alitlife.com/2025/04/08/protecting-the-right-to-read-with-sabrina-baeta-tasslyn-magnusson-of-pen-america/
