It would be hard to find a book less objectionable to conservatives, at least of the faith and family variety, than Susan Meyers’s Everywhere Babies, which has become the latest target in Florida’s drive to purge allegedly inappropriate books from schools.
The book was published in 2001 and is meant for very young children, featuring images on each page of loving families and friends taking care of extremely cute babies, in scenes ranging from gentle homes to bustling city streets. The author was inspired to write it after the birth of her grandson around Christmas, as she thought about the baby Jesus and the nativity scene.
