* Language Alert: Two books on the Texas Bluebonnet Master ListSM contain instances of characters cursing or using Christ's name in cursing. Although, we at Kids' Wings, choose to honor the name of God in our speech and in our writing, we see the redeeming qualities of Tall Tales as important to many children and families faced with an alcoholic parent. This Is Just to Say brings a message of apology and forgiveness, very important in this world, but it includes two words that we wouldn't allow to be said in our classroom. It is disappointing that award-winning books would model vulgarities and the use of the name of Christ in cursing for our our children. (We don't expect all children to be Christians, but we do expect all children to respect the sacred names in all religions.) We believe it is time to respect our children in all areas of their lives, including their literature. We are grateful to authors who choose to use finesse in their descriptions of cursing and leave the exact words to the readers' experience and imaginations.
