And sometimes, too, Cindy, you don't know a person's ethnicity just from their
color. Not all people who are black are "African-American".
I ask myself the same questions all of the time when I have a children's
book, Cindy. I could easily spend more time describing pictures than scanning
or proofing the rest of the book. How much is enough? How much is too much? I
don't think I've ever stated the color of the people in a picture before
because I usually feel like it's not important. But Ann (I think it was Ann)
made a good point about that being important information.
And Lissi made a good point about the descriptions being at the same reading
level as the book. I've never considered that before.
