Reviews

[Hannah · Rating 3 out of 5]

Disappointing. It's advertised as a children's book, but contains the n-word, in black and white and all of its not-glory. Hmm.

Some of the stories were definitely enjoyable but there were two that were a chore to read.

Eye-opening? Yeah, I guess, but there are better books about racism.
