“And Tango Makes Three” authors Peter Parnell and Justin Richardson didn’t write the book for themselves, they wrote it for children who didn’t see themselves or their families represented in their school libraries. #VelshiBannedBookClub #Velshi

  Velshi Banned Book Club: 'And Tango Makes Three'
  
  from MSNBC
  
  25 years ago, two male penguins at the Central Park Zoo bonded, caring for an egg that hatched into a chick named Tango. The true story inspired authors Justin Richardson & Peter Parnell, becoming “And Tango Makes Three,” a feel-good, beautifully illustrated story about family dynamics, love, identity, and acceptance. On the page, readable and family friendly – off the page, an emblem of the censorship and freedom of speech firestorm that has engulfed our nation’s libraries and public schools. The story has become ubiquitous in literary and education circles and the penguin characters – real and in the story -- have become political warriors in and of themselves.
