Negative Positive
Title: colonialism perpetuated
Review: Upon finding this book in the multi-cultural/lingual classroom that I work in, I was horrified to see a small caucasian girl tasting the fruit of the labor of those different people that brought the orange to her. The limits of those of a certain race to certain jobs is extraordinarily offensive, and I cannot see the benefit of reading this wordy and prejudiced story. A child wants to imagine themselves in each part of a story, and only too early are we saying that those who speak Spanish will only be planters, and those who are speaking Creole will be migrant fruit pickers. Sad.
