Kids Lit
Books and More for Children and Teens

Happy Banned Books Week! 

Libraries use this week each year to make the public aware of the fact that people are attempting (and succeeding) to restrict access to books.  Some books are more of a target than others.  Just give a picture book any homosexual content, no matter how subtle and well-handled, and I guarantee a place on the list.  As many of you probably know, And Tango Makes Three is the most banned book of the year.  Shouldn't surprise me, but it is a lovely book and NONFICTION. 

The Office of Intellectual Freedom at the American Library Association has created a video featuring the top banned books of the year.  So many of them are titles for children and teens!  Definitely worth viewing and sharing.

Tango Makes Three is the best book in the entire world. I love it! I hope that one day someday soon people will realize what a lovely (and true) story this is!
