I'd never seen this proclamation about picture books by authors and illustrators. It includes a list of belief statements and what the writers and illustrators condemn and declare. There are 22 signers (provided I counted accurately). One of them, Carson Ellis, illustrated and hand letter the proclamation.

It was written in 2011. Yikes!

Publisher's Weekly has a story about its development.
