Why 'The Talk' about race isn't limited to Black families. - NBCBLK
Among the stories in “The Talk,” is one by Adam Gidwitz, a white father who tells his daughter that her beloved grandfather, who owned a store, built the family’s wealth by taking the homes of Black sharecroppers who owed him money. In “Not a China Doll,” by Grace Lin, a Taiwanese writer and illustrator tells her daughter: “So when people admire you because you are a cute China doll, they are saying that they like you because you remind them of a toy… You are not a toy.
“It burns my soul, singes the edges of my heart when I think of having to find a way to tell him that there will be places he will go, and people he will be confronted with that when they see his bright brown eyes, his beaming smile and perfect Brown skin, they will see absolutely nothing,” Barnes writes.
The Hudsons started as writers, founding Just Us Books publishing company in 1988, frustrated because they couldn’t find books with Black images for their own two children. Their books with “everyday stories” such as a boy fishing with his grandfather, a girl with a group of multiracial friends, and a boy who loves the time of day when his dad comes home, all became staples in classrooms, libraries and home collections within the Black community and beyond.
