I was looking up some banned books to assign my kids, and I need someone to tell me why "Walter the Farting Dog" is on this list. Granted, I've never read it, but it can't possibly be that serious.

A photograph taken inside a narrow library or bookstore aisle, with tall wooden shelves on both sides filled with tightly packed books of various colors and sizes. Small alphabetical shelf markers are visible along the rows. The aisle leads toward a softly lit back area, creating a warm, amber-toned atmosphere.

Centered over the image is a large orange rectangular card, styled like a hanging sign with a black circular hole at the top. In large yellow text, it reads: “All people deserve to tell their stories, and all people should be able to read and learn from them.”

Below the quote, in smaller text: Larisa Hohenboken, UUA Publications Editor.

At the top right corner of the image is the text “http://UUA.ORG .” In the bottom left corner is the UUA flaming chalice logo in white.
