Little Black Sambo

I never understood just why they banned this charming book. Black Sambo showed his wits and guile, but that’s just my outlook. I never sensed a race bias or that he was not fit to be the hero of this book; it only shows his grit. I am so glad the book is back, available once more, so all can read of his courage there on the jungle floor.

Thanks for the entry Terry, and the insight no child should be ignored in stories, all children should have the chance to see themselves as heroes! Congrad's Light & Love
