What happens when a conservative book publisher tries to fight ‘woke’ liberalism? Well, it’s not exactly literature.
Bongo the gorilla has a problem. Well, two of them. First, a group of hyenas armed with coconut cannons is invading his village and snatching the residents’ cupcakes. To make matters worse, Bongo wants to shoot the invaders with his own coconut cannon, but some of his peacenik animal neighbors want to outlaw all cannons, instead. When the cannon-control advocates get pelted with coconuts in a hyena attack, Bongo pulls out his arsenal and shows them the error of their ways.
Someone who spent the bulk of 2021 internalizing cable news might understand what these books are all about. But it’s hard to imagine that person would be a child. Brave Books did not respond to my request to speak with Talbot. But in a podcast this past June with Breitbart editor-in-chief Alex Marlow, Talbot said he started the company from scratch, and didn’t seek out established children’s book writers to create the catalog. “I put together this amazingly creative sort of ragtag group of people basically from my local church,” he said. He recruited celebrities to lend their fame and their favorite issues and set up a subscription model.
Nor is it new to infuse a children’s book with political content, says Leonard Marcus, an expert on children’s books and the author ofYou Can’t Say That!

In 2021, the American Library Association recorded a record number of challenges to books in school and public library collections, mostly over titles centered on race or sexuality.
