The Story of Little Black Sambo, and The Story of Little Black Mingo by Bannerman
"The Story of Little Black Sambo, and The Story of Little Black Mingo" by Helen Bannerman is a children's book written and illustrated in 1899. When young Sambo encounters four hungry tigers during a walk, he must surrender his colorful new clothes and umbrella to save himself. But the vain tigers' argument leads to an unexpected transformation. Once celebrated as featuring one of the first Black heroes in children's literature, the book
later became controversial due to racial stereotypes in its illustrations and character names, prompting numerous revised editions. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
