Typical writing

I read this book for a possible recommendation to my students, but as a Black educator, there’s no way I would recommend this to ANY of my students! The description of a “...blue-eyed, blonde haired...” whyte girl as “perfect” is insulting. Whyte authors always proffer the idea of “perfect” “ beauty” with descriptions such as this, but the reality of what most of them actually looks like is soooo far from the narrative they write in their books. The fact that this book was written for young girls (and I’m sure the author would deem her book inclusive) is even more insulting.
