After a little research, I‘m unsurprised but saddened to have my general sense confirmed that most banns and challenges in books for young (especially very young) children concern #LGBTQIA+ content. This is one such contemporary example of that which stuck me as fairly middle of the road, except for truly joyful artwork , that pushed it over to a pick for me. #BBRCPictureBookLetterU @LibrarianRyan

LibrarianRyan for much of the bans from the 90's and up, yes. Older bans not so much, as it wasn't found as much. I find with older books it has more to do with race or in how the kids in the story act. (like too snoby or bratty, or teaching kids to hide, etc). 3y

IndoorDame @LibrarianRyan yes, my initial search for this year was actually for feminist picture books or childrens books or something since that‘s my personal focus right now even though it‘s not the challenge theme, and most of what I found was older stuff in which the girls aren‘t “behaving“ or are especially “clever“. Some of those will end up on my list too 3y

Uncle Bobby's Wedding | Sarah S. Brannen

Listed on the American Library Association‘s top 10 most challenged books of 2008, this picture book features Chloe and her concerns about her relationship after her Uncle Bobby announces he is going to marry his boyfriend, Jamie. The story gently shows inclusivity and the importance of love and acceptance. Yes…I did read the Guinea pig (original) version. Updated version features humans in the illustrations. #BBRC #PictureBook Letter U

LibrarianRyan I love this story. I read the human version. I didn't know there was a guinea pig version. I will have to find it! 3y

This picture book has gotten a wonderful redo with lovely illustrations! Chloe‘s favorite uncle is getting married, and all she‘s concerned about is if their time together will change. She comes to realize that she‘ll still have as much fun with uncle Bobby - but she‘s actually gaining another uncle to spend time with! Lucky girl! #bbrc #atoz:u

LibrarianRyan How was it different before? 5y

Sarahreadstoomuch @LibrarianRyan it featured guinea pigs instead of actual humans. Which is cute, but... 5y

LibrarianRyan @Sarahreadstoomuch then this is the update it needed. 5y
