Namrata Tripathi, founder of Kokila, stated, "Never, in my whole career, did I expect one of our books to be debated on the Senate floor." This underscores the significant cultural impact of children's literature.
Cruz questioned Judge Jackson about the book 'Antiracist Baby,' asking if she agreed with the idea that babies are racist. Jackson expressed disagreement, indicating a divide in views on racial education.
Kokila has produced acclaimed books like 'Hair Love' and 'The Night Diary', showcasing diverse perspectives in children's literature, creating both critical and commercial success despite facing book bans.
Even with a quarter of its titles officially banned, Kokila's innovative approach has made it a financial success for Penguin Young Readers, appealing to progressive parents eager for diverse narratives.
