Picture books addressing themes of social activism are becoming increasingly praised by the highest awards in children's literature, and increasingly targeted by book challenges in public school libraries across the country. Olga Muys sits down with Jennifer Ford, the librarian at Walter Hays Elementary School, to discuss her thoughts on the importance of progressive children's literature, and her experiences with reading them to students.
