Banned Books for Kids: Reading Lists and Activities for Teaching Kids to Read Censored Literature

From the American Library Association comes the can’t-miss guide to teaching children banned books, both at home and in the classroom

In our polarized environment, the censorship and outright banning of children’s books that some people deem to be controversial or objectionable remains a major concern for schools, libraries, and communities across the United States. Intellectual freedom champion, the American Library Association, created Teaching Banned Books to Kids, a guide that includes both contemporary books that have been banned and classic literature that continues to be under attack for political and/or religious reasons. Parents, school and public librarians, library and information sciences students, and classroom educators will find the assistance and support they need to defend these challenged books with an informed response while ensuring access to young book lovers.
