Christiania:
You are so right about how they shouldn't take "ugly issues" out of children's books or anyone's for that matter. Everyone needs to know what really happened whether it was good or bad and why it was good or bad. I like reading original manuals written by the person themself. Samuel Pepys Diary is a good example.

The Green Book sounds like an interesting movie! Was the black musician Louis Armstrong?

Keep reading! It's so much more fulfilling than today's TV shows!
