The cheerful design of household items which depict black people have made them collectible to a wide group today. Prompted by nostalgia and memories of warm households peopled by loving black hands, these kitchen tools with cute expressions so pleasant to have around are used as decorations in many homes. And in the collecting world, they are becoming popular. The legend which started Aunt Jemima pancakes is told and illustrated with many different variations of her image. Over 250 color photographs of spice shakers, tea sets, toys, match safes, books, ash trays, advertising cards, wall plaques, vases, etc. depict the diversity of items made with images of black people as the main design. Patent drawings of many designs are reproduced here from the archives of the U.S. Design Patents office. A price guide is included for quick references.

Squabbit has always been different from the other animals in the forest; he can climb trees and jump from branch to branch like a squirrel, but he has the short little tail of a hoppity rabbit. Squabbit's furry forest friends don't know what to think: is he a squirrel or is he a rabbit? Soon, Squabbit becomes confused and starts to question who he really is. Eventually, with the help of wise old Mrs. Robin, Squabbit and his friends learn that it's not what you look like on the outside, it's what is inside that really counts. Author Jackie Young created the story of Squabbit with her daughter, Rachel, after noticing a squirrel in their own backyard with a short, bunny tail. She hopes that the story will encourage literacy among children, and will help kids realize that even though we each look different on the outside, it is what's inside that truly matters. Jackie Young is currently a Speech Language Pathologist in Webb City, Missouri, and works primarily with kids in kindergarten through the second grade. She plans to write additional empowering children's books in the future. Publisher's website: http: //www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/TheTaleOfSquabbit.html
