A favorite target of would-be censors nationwide—even the ever-charming Where’s Waldo? was one of the ALA’s 100 most challenged books of the 90s— picture books like And Tango Makes Three and They Call us Enemy introduce ideas about tolerance, self-expression, and difference with simple language and exuberant illustration. Circle up for uncensored story time!
Informed by years of research and banned in Arizona upon publication, Luis Alberto Urrea’s The Devil’s Highway paints a harrowing portrait of America’s boiling border deserts and the determined migrants who attempt the crossing. So effective was Urrea’s research, in fact, that it became the first book banned in Arizona for being “satanic” and “un-American.”
Perhaps no single author has generated more controversy in recent years than Ibram X. Kendi, whose Stamped from the Beginning—published in versions for both adults and youth—outlines the history of racist ideas in America with devastating clarity. In 2020, Stamped itself was stamped as the second-most challenged book in America.
