Description
Paige and her pals picked out teal books and red books and plum books and more—so many they spilled from the shelves to the floor. . . . But not everyone thought that this rainbow was grand—some wanted lime-colored books to be banned.
When the town busybody convinces everyone that lime-green books are too dangerous to be available on the shelves at the library, Paige and her friends must stand up and defend their right to read! With rhyming text from Jan Zauzmer that begs to be read aloud and colorful illustrations by Blanca Millán, Down with Lime Books shows the power of a brave voice to cut through fear and misunderstanding.

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.

A very important message in Down with Lime Books by Jan Zauzmer. I enjoyed the rhyming text and how it handles the intensity of book bans and talks about the importance of kids having the choice to read what age-appropriate book they want to read. The illustrations by Blanca Millan are bright, beautiful, expressive and show much diversity throughout the spreads. I really liked reading this book and would recommend librarians, teachers and parents to pick it up for their kids!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
