Another typically weird book by this author/artist. Kind of a political statement. Kind of an example of racism. Not really a picture book. Maybe a picture book for adults. Cool. Interesting. Feels almost meditative like it should have been a koan.

Wonderful illustrations and storytelling, but I am a bit confused what the end message is supposed to be? And if it's the darker of the two I'm thinking of, what target audience is it supposed to be aimed at?

Deleted my original review but it basically said the book was very sad, short and worth reading.

There's just something about this book that has stuck with me. I think about it often. Everyone should read it.
