Florida authorities say they want to restrict inappropriate and harmful material but that they don't ban books.
Pink has joined forces with Pen America , a campaign group that says it defends freedom of expression for authors.
It says Florida has had more books banned than any other US state, accounting for More Than 40% of all documented examples.

In March, Florida's Commissioner of Education: " Students should be spending their Time In school learning core academic subjects, not being force-fed radical gender and sexual ideology. "
School districts that have removed books have cited recent state laws including one dubbed The Don 't Say Gay bill, which says children should not be taught about sexual orientation or gender identity.
Last Year , another law was introduced saying school books should be age-appropriate, free from pornography and " suited to student needs". They must be approved by a specialist who has had training by The Department of Education, with parents given more power to request a removal.
Another law introduced in 2022 does not allow The " far-left woke agenda" to " take over our schools and workplaces" when teaching issues related to race,
