Problem Statement “Books in the Mixed Race In/Visibility category depicted stereotypical experiences and provided little or no opportunity for critique of racism. Mixed Race Blending books featured characters whose mixed-race identity was descriptive but not functional in their lives. Mixed Race Awareness books represented a range of possible life experiences for biracial characters who responded to social discomfort about their racial identity in complex and credible ways.” (Chaudri & Teale, 2013). The problem is there is a lack of intersectional and diverse racial representation and experiences in children’s literature. The final project is purposed to create a contribution to the solution to this problem by writing, designing, and illustrating a children’s book that comprehensively represents an intersectional multiracial (bi-racial) experience.
