The Children's Book Council (CBC) - K-2nd grade LIBRARIAN favorite
A timely, kid-friendly picture book that tackles book banning and LGBTQ+ family representation through the eyes of the children who are most affected
When Noah asks Emily about her two dads, Jacob knows the perfect book to help explain. There's just one problem: the book isn't in the library anymore. Nobody seems to know exactly why it disappeared, and as word spreads, the whole class is buzzing about the mysterious missing book. Ms. Reeves does her best to explain what happened and why some people wanted the book to be removed. But Jacob isn't ready to give up. He hatches a plan to tell the story himself, because every family, including Emily's, deserves to be seen.
From the creator of one of the most banned books of the decade, Jacob's Missing Book brings two of today's most important conversations into one accessible story that kids can understand. It gives children with LGBTQ+ families a mirror that says, your family belongs here, while helping all young readers grasp what it means when books are taken off shelves and why it matters. Whether read at home, shared in a classroom, or added to a library collection, this is a book about standing up for stories, standing up for families, and making sure every child feels represented.
Key features:
- explains book banning in kid-friendly language helps children understand what censorship is, why books get removed, and why it matters to them
- celebrates LGBTQ+ families gives children with two moms, two dads, or other LGBTQ+ family structures a story where they see themselves reflected and valued
- empowers kids to stand up for what's right shows young readers that children have a voice and can act when something feels unfair
- sparks important classroom and family conversations opens the door to age-appropriate discussions about censorship, representation, inclusion, and the freedom to read
