One of the Most Banned Books of All Time
In 1998, a Maryland school district removed one of American literature’s most acclaimed works from its curriculum. Parents advocating for the ban argued that the book was both “physically explicit” and “anti-white.” Following protests from other parents and educators, the decision was eventually reversed. However, this was neither the first nor the last attack on Maya Angelou’s “I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings.” Few books have been challenged more frequently than Angelou’s memoir. While book banning decisions typically aren’t made at the state or national level, most of the schools and libraries that have banned Angelou’s book have cited similar reasons. Most commonly, they argue that the memoir’s account of rape and the violence of US racism are inappropriate for young readers. But these concerns miss the point of Angelou’s story, which uses these very themes to explore the dangers of control and silence in the lives of children.

The Books That Moved Me (Vol.2)
I know. The book is called The Golden Mole and yet, the picture I have chosen is quite clearly of a golden seahorse. Firstly, no picture of golden moles in Unsplash. Secondly, it doesn't matter that it's a picture of a seahorse and not a golden mole because the seahorse is still representative of the remarkable creatures which Rundell chooses to highlight in her excellent book, The Golden Mole, subtitled And Other Living Treasure.
