AI Overview
The image shows a copy of "Little Black Sambo," a children's book written and illustrated by Helen Bannerman and first published in 1899.
The story centers on a young Indian boy named Sambo who outwits a group of hungry tigers by surrendering his new clothes, shoes, and umbrella, which they then fight over until they are reduced to melted butter.
While initially a popular children's book, it has become highly controversial due to the use of the term "Sambo," which is considered a racial slur, and the illustrations in many early editions that depicted harmful stereotypes of people of African descent, despite the story being set in India.
