Beverly Hope SlapinBeverly Hope Slapin, who delighted many young readers with Growing Up Caucasian, I Live in a Gated Community and What's Up, Little White Girl?, has always been fascinated with and delighted by white people. A teacher whose ove of white culture led her to intensive Caucasian American studies, which she eagerly shares with her young students, Slapin writes: "What would America have been without the Caucasian Americans themselves, with their magnificent shopping malls, their colorful leisure suits, their factories, landfills, and parking lots, their reality shows, their iPods and their history?" Slapin, a winner of the coveted Ishibashi Award, previously collaborated with famed illustrator Annie Esposito on What's Up, Little White Girl?, which Bookmark described as "beautifully cadenced, sensitive prose....
