This is not a perfect book, but it's so necessary.

I think Betsy Bird's goodreads review said everything I'd want to say about this book. I'll just add: the subject heading for this book is "Whites -- Race Identity -- Juvenile Literature" and it's the only book my large library system has with that subject.

This is a horrible piece of propagandistic horseshit - the maunderings of some dim-witted white woman - loathsome in her own perceived racial deliciousness - all darkies be good - white people are bad - despite the fact that for the last 50 years we bad Caucasians have done everything humanly possible to drag black people forward with, it should be noted, limited success - she makes it seem as if 1852 is still upon us - right now in the USA any black person with any drive and with even a modicum of intelligence will be given every chance, every benefit, every available resource by which he or she can become educated or trained - after all our efforts none of us would - unlike the Mother in the book - allow our little white girl to join a group of blacks on a playground - too dangerous - instead of this trite nonsense read Thomas Sowell.… (més)

I had to get a counselor to read this book because I didn't know if all students should have access.

Four adults have now read it, and I know people will disagree; but, we placed it in professional section for counselors to know who it would help in recovery from incest.

The book takes about 10 minutes to read and is listed for grades 3 - 6 or 4 - 8, depending on who did the review. In the book, a girl tells how she feels about seeing her cousin whom she used to like (and still does) but also doesn't want to see him because he raped her. There are many layers and difficulties that I do not have knowledge about. It's very well done and will relate to kids in the same situation, but they need guidance as well. It doesn't tell HOW to deal or HOW to feel--a kid would need someone to help. The book shows empathy.… (més)

Read this with my 6 and 8 year olds. It was a powerful way to get across that color does matter.
