The Spin

Narrative A

The book was created with good intentions and carefully designed to be accessible to readers, including those with dyslexia. It was part of a successful series of children's books by the celebrity chef known for his social advocacy. He never intended to misinterpret a challenging issue or cause harm.

Narrative B

The book perpetuates racist stereotypes that have been used to justify child removals for over a century, contributes to the erasure of First Nations peoples' experiences, and demonstrates a complete failure to engage with Indigenous communities in the creative process. First Nations' stories aren't to be told through a colonial lens. This book should indeed be pulled.
