This post has been updated and reframed to remove editorializing about the ABRAMS decision.
ABRAMS Bookshas ceased publication ofBad Little Childrens Books.
Although positively reviewed by critics, the book has come under fire from some for being offensive.
We also hear the concerns.
The publishing house added, it has never nor will ever stand for bigotry or hatred.
The statement continued, We have a long record of publishing and promoting creative expression in many forms.
We stand fully behind freedom of speech and artistic expression, and fully support the First Amendment.
Read the full statementfrom theBad Little Childrens Booksauthor below.
The book is an equal opportunity offender, if you will.
Thats been part of my lifes work and what I hoped to achieve with this book.
After all, anyone who doesnt like the book doesnt have to buy it.
For this reason, I have asked ABRAMS to cease publishing the book.
