Overview

An allegorical picture book about the very real dangers of book banning 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.
