This is a great book. I have two little nephews ( 10 and 9 ) who are bi-racial and I plan to share this book with them. I will have them for a few days during the holiday season. The illustrations are real, colorful and show Trevor and his family so well. The content is easy to understand and the explanations as to what it feels like to be " bi-racial " are presented in fine fashion. I recommend this book highly... not just to those who may have bi-racial children in their family but for teachers, as well. It would be a good lesson... especially now whereas so many more children are bi-racial in this world.

Dirty Sally
As the mother of 3 beautiful second generation multiracial children, I was delighted to find this intelligent, realistic book. My children are often asked "What are you?" and attempts are made to label them as Hispanic, Ethiopian, mixed (black/white) etc. This makes it difficult for them when they are at ages where all of us were trying to "find ourselves". My daughter has also had a difficult time, often meeting people who assume she has white father or Latino father based on her appearance alone. This book was refreshing and helped my kids realize others go thru the same. I was amazed at how the author told Trevor's story as Trevor sees the world. I was amazed at his ability to process the racist attitudes of the loan officers at the bank!! Impressive. I have shared this book with my co-workers and although it's a children's book, adults can benefit from reading this as well.

I am an author myself, but I basically write about biracial children and their life experiences. I channel my experiences through my writing. Eventually I will publish my memoir, but it still needs a lot of work. If anyone is interested in my book its entitled; Dirty Sally..The untold stories of mixed race kids who find a new identity, love, faith and forgiveness through GOD.
There is an interesting story behind the title. I was often taunted or teased about being biracial. Some of my family members and friends called me Dirty Sally. Dirty Sally is an old slavery term used to identify the descendants or offspring of Sally Hemings, a former slave and the late President Thomas Jefferson. Sally Hemings was biracial her mother was ½ white and ½ black and her father white. This book focuses on the misconceptions surrounding racial identity and the importance of choosing one's racial identity. Dirty Sally is a must read not only for inter-racial families, but for all parents hoping to instill in their children a sense of understanding and compassion. I believe that change requires resistance and within that process we can help heal some of the wounds that continue to inflict on racially mixed children. Purchase available on Amazon.com the ISBN# is 9781432707743
