I love how Barnes & Noble specifically promoted some of these "banned" books. Every library and bookstore should do this.

My first children's book (aimed at ages 9-13) is out on Thursday in the UK, Ireland, India, Oz/NZ and various other places too.
The illustrations, by Ollie Mann, are brilliant. The book features space Lego, pooping cows, fairies at the bottom of the garden and other delights. Please do spread the word (and early orders are VERY helpful). Thank you!
