Great Books For Young Children
Our transracial and multicultural parents know how hard it is to find books that our children can relate to. So as we find them in our travels, we'll pass the titles along.

Sam and the Tigers
By Julius Lester
A reworking of the racist "Little Black Sambo." Sam is a little boy who is the son of Sam and Sam. They live in a place called Sam-sam-sa-mara, "where the animals and the people lived and worked together like they didn't know they weren't supposed to." Sam and Sam take little Sam shopping for school clothes. Sam fancies the brightest colors; and his mom, Sam, shrugs and gives up trying to steer him toward more subtle duds.
