Lastly, the conclusion i can draw about society based on this book is that African Americans were not being represented publicly given that this is a retelling of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears. At the time when the original tale was published (1837) there was much more racism than there is currently. Notably, slavery was still alive during that time, taking this in consideration there was no way you would ever see an African American in a school where whites attended nonetheless be seen in a book. I believe this book not only represents African Americans but also shows how they are not so different as they were being treated in 1837. As a child reads Leola and the Honeybears it exposes them to diversity, to multiple perspectives and values.…
