I know, it’s very challenging to write about historic figures from centuries ago. Researching Fatima al-Fihri for my book, One Wish, was really difficult but I was able to find help at a few universities. I have a blog post about my research process on my website (www.moyuksel.com)

Became aware of this org's problematic stance early last year from some children's book writers on IG (when I briefly was on there). Please support these authors, who have started Story Sunbirds, including kind and generous Safa Suleiman, whose book you can preorder:

I currently work as a librarian and the best thing I think you can do is put in as many purchase requests as you can. And then, check the books out, even if you own them already, to keep the circ numbers up and encourage all your local friends to do the same. Those numbers make the difference.

As other people have mentioned, requesting and checking out books by marginalized voices will help keep them on the shelves. You can also get involved with your library board if possible, or show up — and bring other advocates — whenever any book challenges are on the agenda.
