A new edition for a new world of one of literary legend Toni
Morrison's first picture books with her son, Slade Morrison. With
an afterword by the inimitable Jewell Parker Rhodes."This is a book
about mean people. Some mean people are big. Some little people are
mean." In Toni Morrison's second illustrated book collaboration
with her son Slade, she offers a humorous and insightful look at
how children experience meanness and anger in our world. The
Morrisons recognized that the world and its language can be
confusing to young people. To a child, meanness can have many
shapes, sizes, and sounds. The wise young narrator shows that
meanness can be a whisper or a shout, a smile or a frown as the
list of mean people grows to include parents, siblings, and bullies
of several varieties. Today's young readers certainly know about
meanness and will feel satisfied by having their perspective
championed in The Book of Mean People as well as heartened by the
book's message of embracing optimism, kindness, and joy despite any
meanness they encounter. And adult readers will no doubt recognize
some of these situations from their own life. With whimsical yet
sophisticated art by bestselling illustrator Pascal Lemaitre, The
Book of Mean People is as relevant today as it was when it was
originally published 20 years ago. Features a new cover and back
matter that includes an afterword by bestselling and critically
acclaimed author Jewell Parker Rhodes.
