Left Bank Books welcomes young adult, genderqueer author Steven Salvatore, who will discuss their debut book, “Can’t Take That Away,” on March 18.

An empowering and emotional debut about a genderqueer teen who finds the courage to stand up and speak out for equality when they are discriminated against by their high school administration. Told in alternating chapters with identifying pronouns, debut author Steven Salvatore’s “Can’t Take That Away” conducts a powerful, uplifting anthem, a swoony romance, and an affirmation of self-identity that will ignite the activist in all of us. Salvatore will be in conversation with former Left Bank Books Children’s Specialist Sarah Holt.

All you need to do to participate is log in to your personal Facebook account, go to Left Bank Books’ Facebook Live Page, and wait for the livestream to begin on the page (you may need to refresh the page periodically until the stream begins).
