Author Emma Straub was just starting the tour for her children’s book 'Very Good Hats' when two of her reading events at Texas schools were canceled. Apparently, some parents threw a tantrum over Straub’s use of profanity in a tweet.
The picture book is a first for Straub, who has earned accolades in recent years for her novels “All Adults Here,” “The Vacationers,” and “Modern Lovers,” and whose most recent novel, “This Time Tomorrow,” is being adapted for the big screen.
