Leslea Newman related: "The idea for Heather came about one day when I was walking down Main Street in Northampton, Mass. , a town known for its liberalism, tolerance of difference, and large Lesbian population. On this particular day I ran into a woman who, along with her female partner, had recently welcomed a child into their home." Because the book provides a positive portrayal of gays to children, it is the frequent target of some American Protestants (especially Christian Fundamentalists ) and Catholic s. The American Library Association ranked it the 11th most frequently Banned Book in the United States in the 1990s ; a similar phenomenon can be seen in the ''Sugar Time!'' episode of the American television series '' Postcards From Buster ''.
