Remember this book?
Today I heard this piece about it on NPR. As a child, I’d never had any idea this book had been considered remarkable. But it was published in 1961, and it was one of the first times an African-American had been featured in a story not as any sort of caricature, but simply a person. It was important because his race was never mentioned. The main character is simply a child, having an adventure in this beautiful new snow world, and that’s what made this book revolutionary. Isn’t that incredible?

So beatiful and expressive ;-) Listened to this last night with a bunch of really tight people who I think are awesome and beautiful in every way. Could not stop laughing. I can’t decide if I’m sore from my dance class or from laughing….
