Changes for Addy: A Winter Story by Connie Rose Porter

4.0

This was a re-read and it held up to the hype of my childhood. Porter does an excellent job of addressing the long-term impacts of slavery in a way that is accessible and appropriate for young children. Addy will always have a very special place in my heart since as 4th graders, my best friend and I wrote to Pleasant Company and demanded that they make a Black doll and about a year later Addy was born! I am sure that others complained as well but as kids, we fully believed that it was all thanks to us!
