Gay children's book authors to celebrate Banned Book Week
Numerous authors of commonly banned books, including Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell of a children's book about two gay penguins, And Tango Makes Three—the most challenged book last year—will celebrate Banned Book Week in the Windy City.
The Chicago-based American Library Association is kicking off Banned Book Week in Chicago and throughout the U.S. with a free "Read Out" event Saturday, Sept. 27, at 4 p.m., in Chicago's Pioneer Court, 401 N. Michigan. Banned Book Week runs through Oct. 4.
Among those participating in the "Read Out" are authors Judy Blume, Lois Lowry, Richardson and Parnell and others.
