This wasn't really my cup of tea, but I absolutely see why it's valuable for teaching!
Now that I've read it, it's even clearer to me how beyond ridiculous it is that this book was recently being considered for restriction/removal in my state in my state because of one upright parent who said it was making her kid and all his classmates uncomfortable. Fuck book bans. 👎
