Thanks, Steffany. Children's books may be the most politicized realm in American lit right now because they often involve a clash not just between right- and left-leaning views but among conflicting ideas about what children "should" or "shouldn't" read at certain ages or stages of life. I don't envy librarians who get caught in the middle of the battles.
