Banned is a word that authors never want to hear about books or stories they write, but that's where Heather E. Schwartz's work has taken her.

“I’ve written about 200 books since 2006,” Schwartz said.

The Burnt Hills resident writes children’s books for educational publishers.

“It might be science, math, social studies, or it might be a celebrity biography that’s just meant to draw in reluctant readers,” she said.

Or books such as "Michelle Obama: A Political Icon," which was published almost two years ago as part of a series called Boss Lady Bios.

“All the books are highlighting women that have success in different areas,” she said.

Schwartz called it a straight-forward book, and was surprised to hear a parent in Texas was trying to ban the book from school libraries.

“She felt it portrayed Trump as a bully,” she said. “She felt it somehow was implying that sounding white was a bad thing.”

NBC News reported Tuesday a list of 50 book titles parents are actively trying to have banned from school libraries. Almost of them deal with racism, gender or sexuality.

According to the report, the parent said Obama's reflections on race gave the impression that "if you sound like a white girl, you should be ashamed of yourself.”

Schwartz said as an author, she doesn’t believe in banning books, but that some good had come of it, as the story generated national headlines Monday.

“It always kind of goes the opposite direction,” she said. “I’m glad more people will want to read about Michelle Obama. I think she’s inspiring, and kids should learn about her.”

It’s her understanding the book will not be banned, but regardless, she is committed to continue writing.

“I feels like feedback that’s telling me do more,” she said. "Put more ideas out there.”
