About a week later she returned to check out My Princess Boy by Cheryl Kilodavis. I talked with the mother about her concerns, but she was still upset.
Four days later, the same mother checked the book out. The book was taken to the children’s librarian’s desk and then picked up to be shelved in the regular picture book shelving. She brought the book to the front desk and asked to remove the new sticker and take it off the new rounder. This process began May 15, 2015, when a mother found This Day in June by Gayle Pitman on our children’s New Book display. In the summer and fall of 2015, I faced a long 21-week challenge regarding two picture books, as well as a challenge on our library policies.
They’re still happening and in some instances, more frequently than ever before. Maybe challenges happened years or decades ago, but not now, right? Wrong. I shake my head every day I hear that the freedom to read is being challenged. This Day in June is an excellent tool for teaching respect, acceptance, and understanding of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people.This blog was written by Courtney Kincaid, recipient of the NCTE National Intellectual Freedom Award Honorable Mention. Also included is a Note to Parents and Other Caregivers with information on how to talk to children about sexual orientation and gender identity in age-appropriate ways as well as a Reading Guide chock-full of facts about LGBTQ+ history and culture. Joyful marches! In a wildly whimsical, validating, and exuberant reflection of the LGBTQ+ community, This Day In June welcomes readers to experience a pride celebration and share in a day when we are all united. "The pride primer." - The New Yorker Top 11 Most Challenged Books by American Library Association Winner, Stonewall Book Award-Mike Morgan and Larry Romans Children's & Young Adult Literature Award This day in June.
