Scholastic makes book offer contingent on censoring mention of racism in Banned Books (mei 2023)
Besprekingen
A lovely picture book about an awful time in our history - the internment of Japanese Americans.
Purchased after reading a twitter thread about the author and Scholastic publishing where they wanted to distribute her book but only if she removed all discussion of racism from the author’s note.
How blind to ask such a thing of a book about dealing with the impact and anguish of blatant racism. Just terrible.
Happy to support the author with my purchase.

Family Picture Book Read-Aloud Afternoon: A Nine-Book Pile!
Librarian romance! Even during the miserable and unforgivable period of Japanese-American internment during World War II, two unjustly incarcerated Americans find momentary escape and even love in an Idaho wasteland. Sweet!
It's disgusting that the current political climate has mired such a nice little book in an awful controversy:

Hit me in the feels why don't ya?!
Minidoka is not a shining ray of sunshine in Idaho's history. I mean, Japanese internment camps aren't anything to be proud of period. But as an Idahoan, I struggle with their being on in my state.
But this story reminds that beauty can come from ashes and pain. That words sometimes escape and sometimes words can embody a variety of emotions.
"The miracle is in us....as long as we believe in change, in beauty, in hope. That miracle is hard to find sometimes. But it is in all of us."
Lyrical and gorgeous, am I right?… (meer)
