About This Book
Little Black Sambo by Helen Bannerman is re-created in a black southern storytelling voice in which the storyteller is involved — a voice readers may recognize from his retellings of The Tales of Uncle Remus, among others. He turns Sam's deals with hungry tigers into an exuberant battle of wits, and transforms his pancake dinner into a glorious feast for the whole community.About the Authors or Illustrators
The need to know more about his individual past led Julius Lester to begin studying slavery. His first book for children was To Be a Slave.
