Although Frank is a fictional character, there really was an elephant named Miss Fancy at the Avondale Park Zoo, and the events in this book really happened. Irene Latham is a white author, which I was skeptical of at first; however, the illustrator, John Holyfield, is Black, and the book is well written. This children's book made me think about the many places I take for granted that can go to that Black people were not allowed to enter until recent history and still face discrimination in today.
