Harper Collins has created a controversy by editing the photograph of Clement Hurd, author of Goodnight Moon in the new edition. The editing removed the cigarette from Hurd’s hand. Goodnight Reality is a site where you can vote about whether you approve of the change or not. Personally, I don’t see any reason to remove a cigarette from the hand of an author. How does removing a cigarette help children? I think we need to protect children, yes, but this is not how it should be done. Sanitizing the world doesn’t help our children understand the world they live in nor does it make them any more safe.
