Book Synopsis

An allegorical picture book about the very real dangers of book banning

Paige and her pals picked out teal books and red books and plum books and more--so many they spilled from the shelves to the floor. . . . But not everyone thought that this rainbow was grand--some wanted lime-colored books to be banned.

When the town busybody convinces everyone that lime-green books are too dangerous to be available on the shelves at the library, Paige and her friends must stand up and defend their right to read! With rhyming text from Jan Zauzmer that begs to be read aloud and colorful illustrations by Blanca Millán, Down with Lime Books shows the power of a brave voice to cut through fear and misunderstanding.

About the Author

Jan Zauzmer is tickled lime to introduce young readers to important social issues in delightfully creative and kid-friendly ways. She is the author of two timely and timeless children's books--If You Go with Your Goat to Vote and Maxine's Critters Get the Vaccine Jitters--and is eagerly looking forward to the publication of her newest topical children's book, Down with Lime Books! A graduate of Princeton University and Stanford Law School, she lives in the Philadelphia area with her husband and is a proud mother and grandmother. Blanca Millán was born in Touro, a small town in Spain. She is a fine arts graduate from the University of Vigo with a master's in illustrated books and audiovisual animation. She has been painting for as long as she can remember and started illustrating stories when she became a mother. In 2017, she published her first works, Manuela and A maxia de mamá, the latter as a sole author. In the past six years, Millán has illustrated over 40 titles for the Spanish market, and some of those books have also been translated into English, Polish, Chinese, Dutch, and more. In addition to illustrated books, her other great passion lies in informational books for young children, where she enjoys discussing nature and everything that surrounds us. Currently, Millán continues to illustrate in her little studio surrounded by nature.
