Kash Patel's Maga kids' book is embarrassing. I should know I'm a children's author
Briefly

This book is bad. I'm not insulting it because I think Patel would make a bad FBI director (I do think that!). I am judging this children's book purely on the merits of children's books, separating the art from the artist.
The illustrations by Laura Vincent are brightly colored, skillful and child-friendly. Sure there is a drawing of Hillary Queenton that looks like the assignment was Draw Christine Baranski six minutes after she was attacked by bees. But even that one is a joy in its own way!
The first in the series seemed like a great place to dig in, since political children's books are kind of my thing.
As a writer at Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, I wrote a book called A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo about Mike Pence's family bunny. In the book, Marlon falls in love with another boy bunny and fights a homophobic Stink Bug.
