Reader’s Review
A classic picture book by author Jacqueline Woodson (author of Brown Girl Dreaming) that introduces the theme of racism to young children in a gentle and hopeful way. Great for classrooms.
To look out for
No areas of concern, but important to discuss why the two girls were not allowed to play with each other.
