Over the last few years, we have all been forced to re-examine our understanding of “free speech.” Immensely influential Internet companies have censored some of the most popular and most powerful people in the world. This book follows the story of Stand Up Bear, who is banned from a multitude of platforms. He is accused of “hate speech,” being “anti-bird,” and “against saving puppies,” after he attempted to point out what was really happening at the Saving Puppy Center. 

HINT: They weren’t saving puppies. 

The book includes a FREE downloadable lesson plan which prompts children to think critically about free speech, censorship, and how language can be structured to manipulate people. 

The back of the book includes seven coloring pages featuring the characters in the book.
