Boston.com — New storybook reopens old wounds
Award-winning children’s book illustrator, Christopher Bing has illustrated a new version of Little Black Sambo using the text of the originial 1899 book. Of course, this new title has created a controversy, since “Sambo” is a racist term.
In 1996, Julius Lester created a wonderful version of this story called Sam and the Tigers. He captured the wonderful story while removing the racist terms.
I will have to take a look at the new Bing version, but have to wonder at his need to keep the original title and character name.
