Grandpa, Is Everything Black Bad? is a wonderfully illustrated story of an African American boy, Montsho, who questions the goodness of his black skin because he sees so many black things in his life that are bad; bad guys on TV wear black, black cats bring bad luck, people wear black to funerals, etc. Montsho then learns of his proud heritage from his Grandfather whose wise words and magical drum create visions of ancient Africa in the boys imagination. Through a mystical journey, Montsho learns to identify himself with his heritage and, ultimately, to appreciate his beautiful skin.
