De aquí, esto:
Curiosamente, hoy, hasta Blankets es cuestionado: el autor explica que está prohibido en el estado de Utah y en varias escuelas de EE UU, por presunta “pornografía”.
Y de aquí, esto otro, que conecta con mi dilecta Fun home:
In October 2006, a resident of Marshall, Missouri, attempted to have Blankets and Fun Home by Alison Bechdel removed from the city's public library.[12] Supporters of the books' removal characterized them as "pornography" and expressed concern that they would be read by children.[13] Marshall Public Library Director Amy Crump defended the books as having been well-reviewed in "reputable, professional book review journals," and characterized the removal attempt as a step towards "the slippery slope of censorship".[12][13] On October 11, 2006, the library's board appointed a committee to create a materials selection policy, and removed Blankets and Fun Home from circulation until the new policy was approved.[14][15] The committee "decided not to assign a prejudicial label or segregate [the books] by a prejudicial system",[16] and presented a materials selection policy to the board.[17] On March 14, 2007, the Marshall Public Library Board of Trustees voted to return both Blankets and Fun Home to the library's shelves.[18] In 2021, book ban requests started to grow quickly in The United States, Blankets has been repeatedly targeted for banning and removal from schools and libraries.[19][20]
Technically this isn't a children's book, but I recommend it to any person who loves a good story.
It is the first graphic novel I have ever read and it is mind blowing in the sense of power that it can hold on you. From the first page it grasps you with its carefully placed words and has been one of the best books that I have ever read.
Dejo sólo una viñeta, fina, de las muchas que tiene -durante todo el libro, la nieve le ayuda-:
