I have negative feeling sand positive feelings in the anti-bias aspect of this book. I believe it did a fantastic job showing different races of the children, although the main character was her son who was Caucasian. The negative of it for me was the fact that it didn’t have any fathers in the book and only mentioned something about a dad once and the rest of the time it was just mommies. It made me frustrated because 1. The book would have been fine without the mention of mommies or daddies and 2. What about the families that don’t have mommies or even daddies in them? I also felt the book was a bit too long, while reading it I often thought “okay, is this the last page yet?” I did appreciate the fact that the illustrations in the book were actual photographs and not drawings. I am not sure if I would have this in my future classroom or not. I am a bit torn about it.
