"Does censorship work? Never completely," writes Norma Klein, a much-banned children's author, in The Lion and the Unicorn, way back in 1986

"The only kind of censorship which makes sense to me is the kind all of us practice —putting down a book without finishing it because it seems boring or not worth the time. What I dislike most about censorship is the attempt of a single person to impose his or her literary or moral standards on others who do not share them at all."

“Having one's book banned is not a prize. It's an assault on the right to read. And, worse, official acts of censorship beget quiet censorship, done in anticipation of criticism. As frequently banned author Malinda Lo writes, "Self-censorship is possibly the most difficult kind of censorship to fight because it is generally not publicly admitted. It's done quietly, in private. If nobody knows it's happening, how can anyone object?"” "Being Banned Is Not an Award" Philip Nel Bookbird A Journal of International Children's Literature Volume 63, Number 3, 2025 Read free thru 31 October 2025 Illustrated with the cover art from the new issue of Bookbird
