A Kids Book About Banned Books (view book)

Full Book Description:

Every day in schools across the country books are challenged for carrying narratives, centering characters, and tackling topics that feel uncomfortable for some people. This book explains what book banning is and helps start a conversation about how reading and having access to new information and ideas helps us stop, think, and grow!

The National Coalition Against Censorship is an alliance of over 50 national nonprofits. The NCAC has been fighting for kids’ rights to read since 1974. We believe that kids deserve to speak, learn, and create freely.
