Book Reviews of Ordinary Mary's Extraordinary Deed
Book Review: Everyone is white? Even when the illustrator is Japanese?
Summary: 3 Stars
Love the message, but wish the writing had been a bit better. As an unschooling parent, I also wish the book hadn't unnecessarily mentioned school.
Like another reviewer, I was surprised and disappointed to see that everyone pictured is white, even when the whole world is pictured. And this choice is especially odd since the illustrator is Japanese! I wonder how she felt about that.
Not everyone is white, and not every child goes to school.
