I know that many members of LFPC have children and grandchildren, so I wanted to make sure that everyone was aware of 28 Days Later, a project of The Brown Bookshelf.
For the month of February, they profile a different writer or illustrator of African American literature for children. They make an effort to include up-and-coming writers and illustrators, so you might find some new books for your little (or not-so-little) ones. It's definitely worth a look.
Flagging a post will send it to the Goodreads Customer Care team for review.
We take abuse seriously in our discussion boards.
Only flag comments that clearly need our attention.
As a general rule we do not censor any content on the site.
The only content we will consider removing is spam,
slanderous attacks on other members,
or extremely offensive content (eg. pornography, pro-Nazi, child abuse, etc).
We will not remove any content for bad language alone, or being critical
of a particular book.
