1.0 out of 5 stars
i threw this book in the trash.,
By mamazilla "diaper guerilla" (chicago,il) - See all my reviews
This review is from: ANG PAMBIHIRANG BUHOK NI RAQUEL (Raquel's Fantastic Hair) - Philippine Book
if you're looking for a book to help educate your child about leukemia find something else - especially if you are a "dark skinned" filipino.
i was shocked to find that one of the facets to ana's story is that she actually feels inferior to her cousin raquel because she is dark skinned. this is a horrible stereotype to perpetuate and introduce to ANY child of color and it's a shame that this author uses it, that this publisher published it and that bookstores sell it. from the first page, i was wary of this story. against my better judgment, i read it anyway to my (fairskinned) daughter. i was hoping it would get better but it never did. my daughter was so confused and disappointed by this story and i was so disgusted and heartbroken after reading it, i threw it in the trash. |
