Risko’s Sketchbook
“Rife with profanity.” “Discussion of feminism.” “Soft pornography.” These are just a few ludicrous reasons given for banning books, but can anyone really think the colorful, child-like images in Eric Carle’s Draw Me a Star are porn? Here at AIR MAIL, we think banned books are the most important ones you can read. Stop by our newsstand at 546 Hudson Street in New York City to browse a large selection of banned titles, such as Toni Morrison’s Beloved, Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, James Baldwin’s Go Tell It on the Mountain, and even Carle’s sweet picture book.
