Written to teach and demonstrate that equality can be a welcome friendly outcome but it's not easy to change family or sociological values and it takes personal suffering, pain, and determination to not be racist, it achieved the opposite effect due parental and several concerned groups due to the racial terminology, open philosophy, and frank content.

This book is in a Library Edition Binding and was never shipped, it contains no library stamps or markings, and has a small gold retail sticker on the front cover but the supplier couldn't sell them to teachers or the public and they were long lost and forgotten.
