Banned books, limited literacy

A double life Lisa Catherine Harper, author of A Double Life: Discovering Motherhood, wrote a guest blog for Huff Post Parents.

In her post, she discusses banned books and what affects those have on children. When talking about one of her son’s favorites, Captain Underpants, she writes,” The problem is not really the appropriate — or inappropriateness — of Pilkey's world. The problem is much bigger: we limit our kids' literacy all the time.”

One of her final points is that “It shouldn't matter what kids want to read. They should just read.”
