SEVEN LITTLE STORIES ON BIG SUBJECTS

A SCARCE EARLY SENDAK ITEM FOR CHILDREN EXPLORING HOW TO DEAL WITH PREJUDICE TOWARDS MINORITIES, JEWISH POST-WAR REFUGEES AND RECENT IMMIGRANTS TO AMERICA. PUBLISHED BY THE ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE - the children find a way out of conflict peacefully - sometimes with the help of a wise adult - but many times on their own - making their new way of life in America - a happy place to live.

SEVEN LITTLE STORIES ON BIG SUBJECTS is written by Gladys Baker Bond and Sendak has illustrated each of the seven booklets with b/w illustrations - on the cover and a few within the text.
These seven booklets are in near fine condition. Booklet 2, though is in VG cond. because of light foxing at top of pg 3. They are housed in an original pictorial card-board hinged box. The box has some corner and edge wear and has light stains at top edge. Box is VG- but holding tight and sturdy. (Hanrahan A15).
