Jacob's Missing Book

Author: Sarah and Ian Hoffman

Illustrator: Chris Case

Grades: PreK - 2

Jacob—the star of one of the most banned books of the decade—is back in Jacob’s Missing Book, a kid-friendly story about book banning, censorship, and LGBTQ+ rights.

Noah is confused about Emily’s family, so he asks her―who’s Papa and who’s Dad? Jacob knows just how to explain, but he can’t—the book he needs isn’t in the library anymore! As the day goes on, everyone talks about the mysterious missing book. Ms. Reeves tries to explain why the book is no longer in the library and what all the fuss is about. In the meantime, Jacob hatches a plan to share the story about Emily’s family with all their friends.
