Children in today's times are faced with many issues that can be hard to discuss and even harder to comprehend. Several of those issues are prejudice, teasing, and low self-esteem. Prinsetta is a short story of a young African-American girl who encounters those issues on the playground at school. It addresses the issues in a manner that is both realistic and presented in a way for children to understand, and it gives the reader a look at how a negative experience can have a positive outcome.

Format:Paperback
This is the type of subject matter kids need to read regularly during their formative years. It speaks directly to them about the type of discrimination they may face on the playground and in the future.
The hardest thing to do when writing for children is finding a balance in capitvating the child's mind, and offering a moral, Angela Davis has done both with this book.
My daughter loves Prinsetta, and she chooses this story to read to me fairly often.
