    Permanently BANNED!
    What is this book about anyway?! Maybe you shouldn’t even try reading it … But what could possibly be inside?

    #1 New York Times bestselling author Raj Haldar presents a hilarious (and thoughtful!) look at what happens when ideas are erased instead of shared. Kids (and grown-ups!) will love reading and laughing again and again.

    Raj Haldar

    Raj Haldar is the author of the #1 New York Times Bestselling picture book, P is for Pterodactyl: The Worst Alphabet Book Ever. But, for close to a decade, he has been better known as Lushlife, the rapper, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. In that time, he's amassed a fervent global fanbase and released award-winning viral music videos that highlight his erudite lyrics. The Sunday New York Times describes his work as “an intoxicating mix of captivating rhymes with audacious, gorgeous production.” So it should come as no surprise that Haldar has made the leap into the world of children’s literature. His latest book entitled, This Book is Banned gives young readers a lighthearted entrypoint to begin understanding the dangers of book banning and censorship. His work has been featured by The Washington Post, Interview Magazine, VICE, Pitchfork, Village Voice, Mental Floss, BBC, SPIN and more! Raj currently lives on the Upper West Side of Manhattan with his wife and two young daughters. Raj Haldar social media, music, books + more!

      I’m going into eighth grade and I have been the new kid at school eight times. I basically think of myself as a nomad at this point. I’m 99 percent introverted, so in addition to not making friends easily I tend to not talk to them very much anyway.

      It was all over the place. It was just dumb. I don’t know what to say. Its like “avocados. I know someone who doesn’t like avocados. let’s just ban them.” I wouldn’t read it.
