Kid’s books these days always try to teach something. There’s always diversity. There’s always a lesson being taught to the children about kindness or treating everyone the same, etc.
Older kid’s books just told stories. They weren’t written to train your kids. The culture of today thinks that the community needs to teach your kids (and according to the community’s standards).
That’s your job as a parent.
Children’s books should be written for the enjoyment of the children. Let the parents do the training.
I don’t need my kids’ books to have someone in a wheelchair every time, culturally diverse friends, a story about being kind, etc.
I’ll train my kids in the way in which they should go, you don’t need to do it for me.
