Publisher’s Weekly praises “Grandad’s Pride,” a children’s book for ages 4-8, available at local libraries, for how its “Bustling, bright-hued images with a rainbow motif” portrays various “gender expressions,” including men in bondage costumes with codpieces and a bearded woman with mastectomy scars.
Democrats (mostly) have been arguing that removing age-inappropriate “books” from schools is book banning. They can’t shut up about it, but anyone can get these books with a few clicks electronically (for the groomer in a hurry) or in print in a handful of days.

I’m proud to be a new member of a distinguished club: Authors from Indiana who have had a book banned by a public library. Other members include Theodore Dreiser, Kurt Vonnegut, and Phyllis Reynolds Naylor.
