    I did some digging to see if the "left" could be blamed for this. The book in question is published by an entity called Little Bee Books, which is distributed by Simon & Schuster. Simon & Schuster, in turn, is owned by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. The company's founder and current CEO is Henry Kravis:
    Kravis was a supporter and fundraiser for President George W. Bush and John McCain. He was also a major contributor to the 1992 re-election campaign of President George H. W. Bush. In 1997, Henry Kravis joined with Lewis M. Eisenberg to establish the Republican Leadership Council. In 2017, he also contributed $1 million to President Donald Trump's presidential inauguration.

        The CEO of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. is not overseeing the publishing/distribution of books at Simon & Shuster. That is being handled by someone well below Henry Kravis, and they are no doubt someone on the far left. No one else is depraved enough to approve of a children's book with that kind of imagery.

            that shows that people aren't what they say they are and you need a better framework for understanding their actions than merely what they and the media portray them as.

                          The Amazon link shows that the book is still in print, meaning that Republican mega donor Henry Kravis has no issue with it.

                            My only issue is that it says the reading age is 3+. Like a 3 year old would not understand the concept of pride or sexuality at all. Make it for kids at a stage where they’re learning about who they are as people and actually starting to explore their own identity. Seems more appropriate for middle school level to me

                              Bondage isn't an identity, it's a type of sexual activity. It's "The practice of consensually tying, binding, or restraining a partner for erotic stimulation."

                                    right that shouldn't have been in there. they could have made illustrations of a family holding a pride flag together or something to make it more child appropriate but having men in leather suits when this is meant to be suitable for preschooler age is inappropriate

                                      It's absolutely insane how hard it is anyone remotely left-leaning to admit what you just did:

                                      1. This book isn't for 3 year olds.
                                      2. Bondage is inappropriate for children.
                                        Kudos to you.
