A silly new children's picture book introduces little kids to a serious topic.
This Book Is Banned by Raj Haldar with pictures by Julia Patton isn't really about books being removed from libraries. It's about banning such random things as unicorns, avocados and old roller skates.
Haldar was partly inspired to write This Book Is Banned because of something that happened to him after his first book was published in 2018.
Haldar's P Is for Pterodactyl: The Worst Alphabet Book Ever is all about silent letters and other spelling quirks. For the letter "O," he used the word "Ouija"...and ended up getting some hate mail.

..."In the meantime, while P Is for Pterodactyl became a best-seller, Haldar started doing some research on book bans.
"One of the really kind of important moments in my journey with this book was reading about the book And Tango Makes Three, a true story about two penguins at the Central Park Zoo who adopt a baby penguin," says Haldar, who grew up in New Jersey, just outside of Manhattan."...
