The rising acts of hate and violence against the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities are unacceptable and wrong. Scholastic unequivocally believes in the worth and dignity of each individual, and we denounce all acts of bigotry and racism. We stand in solidarity with our AAPI employees, authors, illustrators, partners, and communities, who must be respected for who they are and their contributions recognized.

The Company's Offerings Aim to Increase Book Access, Help Social-Emotional Needs, and Build Skills; Resources Can Support In-Person, At-Home, or Hybrid Learning

On Monday, March 22, 2021, with the full support of Dav Pilkey, Scholastic halted distribution of the 2010 book The Adventures of Ook and Gluk. Together, we recognize that this book perpetuates passive racism. We are deeply sorry for this serious mistake. Scholastic has removed the book from our websites, stopped fulfillment of any orders (domestically or abroad), contacted our retail partners to explain why this book is no longer available, and sought a return of all inventory.
