I am a library school student and children's literature enthusiast who supports responsible and factual education (including education about drugs). It is hard to judge from just the preview, but my first impression is that this book is full of stereotypes (that includes the illustration style) and clunky prose. If it were about any other topic, I'd pass it up after page 3. So, here's the challenge: who out there can write a high quality book for children about pot?

As a child growing up in the 80's in San Juan, Puerto Rico I thought of kids walking/biking/riding buses about on their own as a fiction. Something you saw in movies, read in books, but no one ever did that for real. Like unicorn hunts. It wasn't until I grew up I realized that not all kids were raised the way my neighbors and I were raised. We weren't even allowed to take the elevators/stairs within our building until we were nearly 12. As an adult, it has been nearly impossible to go against this tradition: 1)Because the fear of the outside has been branded into my brain, but the real reason is 2)Because I fear the lynch mob (trust me, the other parents would call social services.)
