“No to mixing white babies and black babies. It was not done in early 1960s America, a country with laws that separated people by skin color.“
This is a nice book to use when learning about women who made a change in the world or talking about racial diversity in children's books.
pick#SeptemberSenses Day 5: Gyo Fujikawa was determined to have diverse, multicultural babies in children‘s books even before it was deemed acceptable. She felt that #SeeingIsBelieving and that her art can make that happen and come alive, because readers are able to see such diversity possible in the pages of a book. She was a true pioneer.

This is a look at the life story of artist Gyo Fujikawa. Later in life she became known as a children‘s book writer/illustrator, but before that, she held many positions in art life, including at Disney. This story is detailed about her early life, and how she got to being a children‘s book illustrator. But it basically stops there. There are very few references made to her actual books.
