That's exactly what I'm thinking, but more mainstream, more detailed, and more in depth.<br /><br />@Amy- Your book sounds SUPER interesting. I can't wait to read it!!!TiAnna Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11420794367800310718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578968767734826015.post-81462641784310299422011-11-03T15:22:01.838-05:002011-11-03T15:22:01.838-05:00I think that would be a wonderful idea! You got me...I think that would be a wonderful idea! You got me thinking and The Proud Family automatically popped in my head and so did Little Bill but these are characters on TV not necessarily books... As you know, i definitely have my "power to the people" moments and I always think that who better to create these things than US!

Moody has an entire imprint for African Americans--not sure they do kids books, but I'll bet so!<br /><br />Go for it!Jeanette Levelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12898750484193832082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578968767734826015.post-44191157919831392322011-11-02T23:42:10.060-05:002011-11-02T23:42:10.060-05:00Totally lacking!

I totally agree with you. I always...Awe! Too cute! <br />I totally agree with you. I always wish I will be able to find black characters for my oldest so that I can buy them early and get him used to seeing them, but no luck. :-( That may be your calling (jada pinkett smith and holly robinson peete did wrote children's books). My mom suggested I do that bc of my sketching but um no...not a storyteller, lol.Deia@LoveInTangleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10728502245617840685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578968767734826015.post-49628415393769600252011-11-02T10:11:55.516-05:002011-11-02T10:11:55.516-05:00LOL - I seriously thought you where Charlie too.. ...LOL - I seriously thought you where Charlie too.. lol.. CUTE costumes.. :)) I tink it'll have to be the agents as a book should be placed by fiction or whatever the actual storyline falls under and not by color.. It's sad that happens at times, my book stores are pretty well shelved and I can't complain but I HAVE seen that happen a lot..Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046655201991841598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578968767734826015.post-80870405825860104872011-11-01T21:07:01.060-05:002011-11-01T21:07:01.060-05:00LOL!!!!

Do you think books with black characters get put in the "black" section based on how it's marketed or maybe the agent took it in that direction??TiAnna Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11420794367800310718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578968767734826015.post-18079575648803573782011-11-01T17:53:39.878-05:002011-11-01T17:53:39.878-05:00cute :) i thought you were charlie chaplin until ...cute :) i thought you were charlie chaplin until I actually read it lol! hair is pretty.<br /><br />the thing is, there are stories where characters happen to be black and then they are relegated to the "black" section with the hood lit and old black books from the turn of last century....which means it generally only gets read by black folks and STILL doesn't become mainstream even though the story is universal. it's something that i'm struggling with on deciding for my book, if the main character should be black or not, so as not to get overlooked as a "black" read. sigh, stupid society!socialitedreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06171868338538960023noreply@blogger.com
