Peer reviewedFreeman, Wanda Smith – Voices from the Middle, 1996
Describes how the author, growing up loving to read, never dreamed that real Black people like herself existed in everyday, fun books--all of the characters she came to love and secretly conversed with were White. States that now she fills the shelves of her classroom with fun books that tell of simple, joyous moments of all human kind. (SR)
