The Color of Earth (series) by Kim Dong Hwa Amazon describes this book as "Ehwa grows up helping her widowed mother run the local tavern, watching as their customers - both neighbors and strangers - look down on her mother for her single lifestyle. Their social status isolates Ehwa and her mother from the rest of the people in their quiet country village. But as she gets older and sees her mother fall in love again, Ehwa slowly begins to open up to the possibility of love in her life". The book is challenged because of "nudity; sex education; sexually explicit; unsuited to age group." God forbid we give the millions of children (like myself) of single mothers someone to identify with. Also? Don't let your children read about nudity, just let them watch it everywhere on the planet instead. less
