Sometimes you have to roar for what you believe in, especially if you discover books are being banned in your library.

What People are Saying

"A book people need and a wonderful purchase." 

 

- School Library Journal (starred review)



"This timely book effectively simplifies the current book-banning movement into easily digestible terms. Better yet, in the backmatter, “ROAR” is revealed to be an acronym for steps to advocate for intellectual freedom (Recognize, Organize, Act, Respect). As an added treat, book covers throughout reference near-actual titles (Of Mice and Moose). A solid primer for library advocates."

 

- Kirkus Reviews

 


"Using “roar” as both anthem and acronym (“Recognize. Organize. Act. Respect.”), Ferry gives librarianship a creaturely prehistory in this picture book with an anti-censorship message. . . . Drawn in thin black lines, Joyner’s digital artwork saves its detailing for character expressions, which range from anger to joy as their movement finds its voice."
