1: Feel Ok About the Book
While I happen to work with Black students (only 1 white student) I know that Black children go through racism on a daily basis, more than any other racial group. However, even my 8yr. old Black students are aware and have said aloud there ARE Black, Latino, etc. racists. I was disappointed again to see a book where only white males are the racists, not a Latino man or a Black female. It was nice the text said any1 can be racist, but the illustrations did not support this.

2: Great Book
It shows we are all different but yet all alike and can get along.

3: What I Expected and What I Got Were Two Different Things
The artwork is really nice. However, for a book about racism I expected to see someone other than a white male showing prejudice. I, personally, have had to work with very prejudiced non-white people. I know the prejudice is real.
There is one complete white family checking out a man with a spiked hairstyle and his family. Of course, they are looking at this family with disdain.
The one and only example of relgious predjudice is someone from the middle east
