Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

No, no, no! It's 2016 and this is how we are depicting relationships between slaves and slave owners? NO. As the Amazon review states, "Brantley-Newton's colorful, cartoon-style double-page illustrations, combined with the light tone of the text, convey a feeling of joyfulness that contrasts starkly with the reality of slave life." There is no need for light tones in text when it comes to slavery. I am appalled that this was even published, and you can bet I am teaching my kindergartner how to critique a book on which lives and societies were built on false narratives such as these. This is not historically or morally accurate. NO. Ramin Ganeshram and her publisher should know better! Shame on you!
