Ezra Jack Keats Quotes

Then Began An Experience That Turned My Life Around-working On A Book With A Black Kid As Hero. None Of The Manuscripts I'd Been Illustrating Featured Any Black Kids-except For Token Blacks In The Background. My Book Would Have Him There Simply Because He Should Have Been There All Along. Years Before I Had Cut From A Magazine A Strip Of Photos Of A Little Black Boy. I Often Put Them On My Studio Walls Before I'd Begun To Illustrate Children's Books. I Just Loved Looking At Him. This Was The Child Who Would Be The Hero Of My Book.
