[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Old British books. Mary Poppins, paddington, Winnie the Pooh, secret garden, anything by Nesbit. Diction and sentence structure is challenging, complex writing but the themes are simple and innocent— not a lot of violence, snark or middle school drama.[/quote] No on Secret Garden, which appears on quite a few lists of racist children's literature. Mary spends quite a bit of time complaining about the sub-human Indian savages. [quote] When Martha says she thought Mary would be black because she was from India, Mary bursts into tears and says, "You thought I was a native! … They are not people—they are servants who must salaam to you." [/quote]
