JIM AND STEVE HATCH A ROCK
(A Children's Book For Adults)
30 Pages
The story is about a young boy who is caught by his father reading a book about two male penguins who are more than fond of each other. His father's reaction instills in the boy a fear of reading he struggles the rest of his life to overcome.
This book was inspired by the decision of Singapore’s National Library Board in June 2014 to ban a book titled “And Tango Makes Three”, after a complaint was made that the book did not espouse proper family values and therefore is not suitable for children. The banned book is about two male penguins who hatch an egg and raise the chick.
Jim And Steve Hatch A Rock is a satirical take on this incident (and countless similar incidents in countries around the world) and the debate that has been ongoing since the book "And Tango Makes Three" was first published.
