Ours is the ancient temptation to do
cosmetic surgery on Christ's body, airbrushing away evidence of his
suffering and erasing incarnation. The problem about 9/11 is that we're
in danger of airbrushing the experience out of the event. While I can think
of worse things perpetrated on Goodnight Moon than this airbrushing (see

at least occasioned a lively debate about the intersection between
children's book history, the marketplace, and changing perceptions
of what "harmful to children" means. |
