The Eponym ous main character is a young black boy, similar to Sambo in '' The Story Of Little Black Sambo '' by Helen Bannerman , based on
a folk talk from the Southern states of the U.S. folk. Like ''Little Black Sambo'', it has been criticised for its Racist overtones and Stereotype s.

Later versions of the tale were published by Constance Egan , Eve Merriam , Mary Claire Pinckney and Cathy East Dubowski . Some versions are written in Rebus or Gullah .
