Launching this week, Brave Books will focus exclusively on stories for kids, and offers parents a conservative alternative to the current cultural activism that our children are being taught in schools, in the entertainment they watch and the books they read, according to their website. Company CEO Trent Talbot, who had his first child a little more than a year ago, conceived of Brave Books when, he said, he started to notice that there is a real war going on for the hearts and minds of our kids. And everywhere I looked was propaganda, the Montgomery, Texas-based dad told The Post. An ophthalmologist by trade, Talbot pointed to Ibram X. Kendis picture book, Antiracist Baby, which urges parents and kids to make equity a reality, as content that needs a counterpoint. Once my eyes were open I was seeing it everywhere and I couldnt unsee it, Talbot said. I thought there was a need for books that could help parents teach the values they hold dear. Brave Books first offering is called Elephants are Not Birds, the story of an elephant named Kevin who likes to sing, and then is convinced by a vulture named Culture that he warbles so well, he must actually be a bird. Culture gives Kevin a pair of wings and a beak to wear, though his attempts to live life as a bird are less than successful in the ensuing pages. The book is an unapologetic rebuke of transgender acceptance and the growing number of young people identifying as trans, says author Ashley St. Clair. Brave Books is eschewing Amazon and only selling directly from its own website, offering parents a book a month for a $12.99 yearly subscription. Other planned books include, The Island of Free Ice Cream by former OAN anchor Jack Posobiec, which will tackle Communism. The company is also courting Congressman Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas), to write Fame, Blame, and the Raft of Shame about cancel culture. Talbot said Elephants are Not Birds has already been positively received by kids from 4 to 12. I would love to see it taught in schools and on summer reading lists and were going to fight to make that happen, he said. --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 <cite>Lebronwon posted [p:956425205] in Conservati...
