The Best Of The Brownie’s Book I liked the stories in it. I liked reading the grownups corner about the little girl that was asking her mom have colored folks done anything in books. I think that was a good part of the Brownie Book that helped the parents put their input in the magazine. A story that I like in the magazine was “The Heritage” when mother mason helped Julie understand that it wasn’t only herself that she was letting down it was the whole generation. Julie didn’t really understand that she was affecting a lot of people and what her parents have done so she could go to school. It was inspiring to children that were going through the same thing to keep doing what they were doing. Another story was “Dolly’s Dream” I think that was very interesting about the fairy godmother that she dreamed to be the a little girl with golden curls, pale skin, and blue eyes. I think this was a story that could relate to all children in those days that they didn’t like the way the looked because they were portrayed as ugly. In this story it tells them that they should be happy the way they looked.
Another thing that I found nice about the brownie book was the pictures of the children they were so cute. The pictures related to the story “Dolly’s Dream” because in the pictures the children are portrayed as beautiful and cute probably something different from what they see. Like for example in the cartoons that we saw in Ethnic notions how the children were portrayed as darky or with crazy hair. The little people of the month was very inspiring to the children that they could do what ever they wanted to if they try hard enough. I really liked the Brownies’ Book it was good for children at this period in time.

I forgot about Heritage but it was a hell of a story. It was good for the black children. The black children needed to knopw that it was them that would make change and are the rewflection for their whole race. The black child didnt realize that her hard work would pay off someday, not just for herself but for her whole race. Mother Mason made her realize that the fruits of life take time to grow and ripen, but in the end it is worth the hard work and wait.
I thought the book was very well-rounded as your post shows. It had pictures of real chidren like them, it had stories about children acting in great ways, the letters were another good way of reaching the children and showing them that they are not alone.
My favorite part of the brownies book was the ending stories. Those being that of the rabbit. I feel children can relate to these and having a fictional "Cartoony" character really helps portray a message.
