Melodye Rosales's illustrations for Addy are the best. It sucks that one of the reasons Pleasant Rowland fired her was for trying to show the different complexions black people can have and it was pretty shitty of her to demand back the Addy doll she'd given to Rosales's daughter.

That sounds like a very distorted account of what happened. The books are very clear in their text about the colorism among different complexions of black people. She wouldn't fire the illustrator for drawing what was written in the books. Besides, what would be the point of trying to make black people all have the same skin tone other than being an evil moustache-twirling racist?
