A Light in the Attic is a collection of poems by the American poet & children's writer Shel Silverstein. It was first published by HarperCollins in 1981. The poems are accompanied by illustrations also created by Shel Silverstein.
The book has been banned from some libraries for its attitude towards child behavior (at times seeming to encourage messiness & disobedience). People claim that it "encourages" children to break dishes in order to get out of having to dry them. Also, one of the verses describes the death of a girl after her parents refused to buy her a pony, ending with the line "And this is a very good story to read to your parents when they won't buy you something you want." Other, more serious complaints included the mention of supernatural themes, including demons, devils, and ghosts.
A Light in the Attic was dedicated by Silverstein "To Shanna." "Shanna" was the nickname of Shel's daughter, Shoshanna, who died of a cerebral aneurysm on April 24, 1982, at the age of 11.
