Today, I learned that of the 3,200 books for children . . .

Wow. That's kind of shocking.

I'm just bookmarking for now until I get time to read your linked articles.

I wonder how many books simply didn't mention "race" though.

good question

That's one of the things I liked about "The Hello Goodbye Window".

Based on the illustrations, the kid and the grandma are black. You can't really tell about the grandpa. It isn't a "black" book or a "white" book -- it's just a book. That's how it should be, in my opinion.

I was thinking that too - seeing they are children's books, I would venture to guess many are about animals or with animal characters as well - so no people.

I agree - MOST small children's books use inanimate characters.

I totally agree

That too is true and Christopher Myers mentioned that in the article I linked
