In September 2016 Bob Staake released under the pseudonym Arthur Gackley a book of children's book covers for adults entitled "Bad Little Children's Books." Three months after release blogger Kelly Jensen at Book Riot critiqued the humor book for propagating racist stereotypes. The subsequent online outcry led Staake to request that his publisher, Abrams Books, cease printing the book. The National Coalition Against Censorship, whose Board of Directors currently includes Abrams president and CEO Michael Jacobs, issued a statement in support of the book: “We support Abrams’ decision to publish this, or any other book, even if it offends some readers. We urge the company not to accede to pressure to withdraw the book, but to stand for the proposition that it is the right of authors to write as they choose and of individuals to decide for themselves what to read.” Abrams clarified in a statement that they were only ceasing future printings of the book in order to honor the author's request and would not otherwise have intervened.
