I thought this was a great way to introduce the concept of book banning to kids. Every library day, Paige and her class have fun picking out a rainbow assortment of books. However, a someone in town decides that lime colored books shouldn't be on the shelf, because "they are weird" and removing them helps "control what you think". The kids work together with some grown-ups on their side and protest, eventually getting the books back on the shelves. The rhyming of the story will help kids stay engaged and the art is very colorful as well. I look forward to getting a copy for my school library and starting the conversation with my students.

A relevant book explaining book banning in a kid-friendly way. In this book, there's an adult who does not like lime colored books, so they decide to get rid of those books from the library. They succeed, and when asked why they took lime colored books away, they answered, "Because lime is weird." They also state that banning these books helps them control what people think. A courageous Paige stands up to these book banning adults, and Paige encourages people to find the lime colored books. Paige helped get rid of the lime ban and everyone is encouraged to share lime books with family and friends. Such a wonderful book demonstrating how book bans can be lifted so everyone can have the freedom to read what they want.

What a great book presenting real life talk in a kid friendly way. The book addressing the hot topic of book banning by comparing books to colors. It allows for open discussion of differences and acceptance.
