Zondervan is putting off publication of its biography for young adult readers of former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

Speaking Up: The Sarah Palin Story by Kim Washburn, described as a story that "inspires each of us to follow our dreams without compromising our beliefs," was to have been released in October by Zonderkidz, the children's division of Zondervan.

Tara Powers, spokesperson for Zondervan, said today that publication would be delayed. The company had "determined that October 2010 is not the optimal time for publishing this book. We do not yet have word on when the book will be printed."

Written for children aged 9 through 12, Speaking Up was to tell how Palin's faith in God and family support helped her run for vice president and follow her dreams.
