The Dark Fantastic: Race and the Imagination From Harry Potter to The Hunger Games, by Ebony Elizabeth Thomas
Stories provide portals into other worlds, both real and imagined. The promise of escape draws people from all backgrounds to speculative fiction, but when people of color seek passageways into the fantastic, the doors are often barred. This problem lies not only with children’s publishing, but also with the television and film executives tasked with adapting these stories into a visual world. When characters of color do appear, they are often marginalized or subjected to violence, reinforcing for audiences that not all lives matter.

Another cute cryptic tortoise beetle of happiness. The world can be a garbage fire, but we have each other… and beetles.
