About this product

Product Information

Born in Edinburgh in 1863, Helen Bannerman lived in India for thirty years. As a gift for her two little girls, she wrote and illustrated The Story of Little Black Sambo (1899), a story that clearly takes place in India (with its tigers and "ghi," or melted butter), even though the names she gave her characters belie that setting. For this new edition of Bannerman's much beloved tale, the little boy, his mother, and his father have all been given authentic Indian names: Babaji, Mamaji, and Dadaji. And Fred Marcellino's illustrations'lively and lavish'are unmistakably Indian in every detail. The Story of Little Babaji: an old favorite is lovingly, memorably transformed. 1996 Children's Books (NY Public Library)Notable 1997 Childrens' Trade Books in Social Studies (NCSS/CBC)1997 Editor's Choice (Booklist)Booklist Notable Children's Books of 1997'Lasting Connections of 1996' Book Links

  • A Great New Take on an Old Story

    After years of being banished from libraries and bookstores because of the racist twist put upon it by unscrupulous publishers in the 20th century, the story of the South Indian boy and the tigers is back, and it's better than ever. Illustrated by Fred Marcellino, who recognized that the simple 1899 story by Helen Bannerman had no racial slurs in the text, he illustrated it himself, changing the original only by giving the central characters names that had more South Indian flavor. So you get the charm of the old children's tale, and wonderful illustrations - in which the mean quartet of tigers are so funny that they almost steal the whole show.
