For decades children of colors have experienced the suffering and confusion concerning their race, and their skin color and many other reasons why they are not able to be as free as white children, in America. I wanted to give them books that would mirrow the likeness of them to show them that it did not matter what the world had called them for decades, and some people still do cause them much pain inside their little hearts while growing up in America today. 

 

So I wrote these books (for me and my son) to pass down to other children of colors. I was once a little colored girl; Now in her 50's bringing life and flavor to her voice to help other little boys and girls who are still sometimes bullied on those playgrounds, in their homes and society, mentally, emotionally, physically & verbally abused across America for having a learning disorder, mocha color skin, hair textures, straight verses coilly or curly hair. You would think we could get past this silliness. How do we, teach all children, to never make fun, of the clothing, other children wear? We must correct our parenting behaviors, if this is coming from us.?    

 

I understand how lonely it is when you are labeled as not being as smart or as important: as the rest of your class. However, is bullying really a necessary role for our children to learn in order for them to feel good about themselves? Or is this behavior something that continues to get passed down to children from their parents, teachers, and friends? Treating our children badly because of the color of their skin, they are born in without a choice just seem very thoughtless.  

 

I believe this is a dangerous game to play with a child's mental emotions, disrespecting them and neglecting them can lead them to becoming bullies themselves. So I wonder how is this act of bad behavior, still breeding in America? 

 

Most of our children, who are born from interacial families, have no problem with being friends with other children who may not have a black mother, or a white father. So when I look at the damage that has been done to many of our children of colors it makes me want to do better for them and their children, to come.

 

Must we continue to rob our children of their dreams...based on the color of their skin? Haven't we allowed these acts of unkindness to happen with many of our babies, who have (killed) themselve after being bullied and teased? I would say so: And the next time you hear someone who is about to taint a childs heart, with nasty words that hurt them please have the courage to speak up for that child, because at the end of the day that is someones baby running back home hurt and in tears. Just remember that fatherhood, motherhood & sisterhood, brotherhood,  all matter to people of colors just like any other race living in America. Try to care no matter what color of skin you wear, we are here to love and be loved.
