An example letter to send to a senator: Dear Senator [name], My name is [insert name]. I’m a Colorado resident and the author/illustrator of [briefly describe your books]. I’m writing to show my support for SB25-063, and to urge you to stand up for the right to read in our state. The freedom to read is very important to me. [Insert a relevant anecdote or reason why protecting school libraries and standing up against book bans is so important to you personally. This can be a few sentences or even a few short paragraphs long. You’re a writer—feel free to get creative!]. I am proud to be a Coloradan, and I hope you will support SB25-063 so our state can join the many others that have passed “right to read” legislation. Thank you, [your name]

Something I'm working on this year is finding non-writing creative outlets for myself. One way I've started to do that is by taking a pottery class!" On the bottom right of the image are two photos of clay pots with the caption "I made these!"
