East Bay Children’s Author Stands Strong In Censorship Battle – Patch

Category: Censorship

OAKLAND - An East Bay writer of children's books got the offer of a lifetime a chance for her book to be distributed by publishing giant Scholastic. But it came with a price that she said was too much to pay.

The book is titled "Love In The Library," the story of how Maggie Tokuda-Hall's grandparents met and fell in love while incarcerated along with 13,000 other people of Japanese descent at the Minidoka Relocation Camp in Idaho during World War II.

"And so, I wrote about it for kids," said Tokuda-Hall. "I wanted to provide them with this example of hope and of beauty and the possibility of change, but one that also didn't shy away from the truth of what happened to them."
