As school nurses and librarians, we find ourselves grappling with the distressing reality that little is being done to prevent school shootings. We need publishers and authors who understand the needs of children to address gun violence in an appropriate manner.

Imagine finding a Winnie-the-Pooh book in your child’s backpack on the last day of school but instead of reading a typical Pooh story, your child was being instructed to “run, hide, fight” in the face of potential threats of gun violence. This happened in a suburb of Dallas, Texas at the end of this school year. The book has sent shockwaves through the school district, raising justified concerns among parents and teachers.
