   Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.  BackstoryBooks | Apr 1, 2024 |   I have some killer quotes forthcoming!! Anyone who wants to reflect on the power of words, here from these popular authors who have been "silenced" for one reason or another. It's a good read. And timely. (  ) msgabbythelibrarian | Jun 11, 2023 | Gmomaj | Apr 27, 2023 | The interview format of this compilation of stories about authors who have faced censorship brings to light the true feelings of people being silenced for presenting their own cultures and views. These stories could be selected to be read aloud to start the conversation about censorship. It would make a great addition to a banned books week display. Students will be able to read about how real people are affected by censorship not just the books. (  ) SWONclear | Dec 22, 2022 |  Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.Through the interviews in this book, Leonard Marcus gives readers insight into not just the writers' responses to having their books banned or challenged, but also into their writing processes. This book is certainly a must-read for fans of any of the included writers, and for defenders of intellectual freedom, but also for anyone interested in hearing writers' thoughts on their own work. FTC Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher in exchange for this review. ( ) mzonderm | Sep 22, 2022 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
A powerful photo essay on transgender teens is called anti-religious and anti-family. A meticulously researched primer on sex education stirs up accusations of pornography and child abuse. Picture books about two mommies (or two penguin daddies) set off a hue and cry. Two hugely popular children's series run afoul of would-be censors, one for its scatological humor, the other because it's deemed too scary. Kids' books that touch on race, sex, LGBTQ matters, the occult, "coarse language," and more have found themselves under the scrutiny of those who challenge First Amendment rights. Tune in as thirteen top children's and young adult authors speak out about what it's like to have your work banned or challenged in America today. Prompted by Leonard S. Marcus's insightful questions, they discuss why their books have faced censorship--both blatant and "soft"--how the challenges have or haven't affected their writing, and why some people feel they have the right to deny access to books. In addition, Leonard S. Marcus puts First Amendment challenges in a historical context and takes a promising look at the vibrant support network that has risen up to protect and defend young people's rights. Authors interviewed include: Matt de la Pe a; Robie H. Harris; Susan Kuklin; David Levithan; Meg Medina; Lesl a Newman; Katherine Paterson; Dav Pilkey; Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell; Sonya Sones; R. L. Stine; Angie Thomas.
