Looknig through my apparently long-forgotten Google Reader subscriptions, I came across this book trailer on Literanista's blog, and I wanted to share it with you because I thought it was cute (and very clever):
The book is published by Second Story Press, which has this to say about itself:
Second Story Press was co-founded in 1988 by Margie Wolfe and three other women dedicated to publishing feminist-inspired books for adults and young readers. We are proud to be marking our 20th year of publishing award-winning books that entertain, educate, and empower.
I agree, what a clever way to advertise a book. My other thought: Why is color so bleeping important? *sigh*

I wish we didn't have to talk about color, but when you're the only Black girl in a classroom full of white kids, color kind of becomes an issue for you...
ReplyDeleteWhat I liked about this book is that it addresses bi-racial children: Violet is purple because she's a mix of her dad's blue and her mom's red; not only does she have to deal with not looking like the other kids in school, but she doesn't look like her parents, either. I thought he approach was cute but meaningful. (Then again, I haven't read the book yet... but it seems good!)
