[CASL-L] book fair

Thank you all for you insight and suggestions.  And thank you for all of the support of reviews and links. I feel like I have a good plan for anything else that may come up!  
The student is in 2nd grade and has a sister in kindergarten, not students who would buy these books.  I have many books on my shelves about WWII, both fiction and nonfiction, and this book would fit right into the collection.  
Have a great weekend!Laura

Hi! We're having a Scholastic Book Fair in 2 weeks.  Flyers went home and on the last page, under Middle Grades, is a book called Making bombs For Hitler.  The cover has a swastika on it.  I had a student tell me his parent was very upset and felt it was inappropriate for it to be on the flyer and sold at the book fair. Has anyone had this issue, now or in the past, with a book fair item?  I haven't heard from the parent directly but am anticipating a conversation at some point.  We are a K-6 school.
We don't have a library policy in place yet...something I have to work on with the admin and board.  But not sure a book fair item would even be covered any way.
Thanks for any thoughts and suggestions.
