The Story of Little Black Sambo is a children's book written and illustrated by Helen Bannerman, and first published by Grant Richards in October 1899 as one in a series of small-format books called The Dumpy Books for Children. The story was a children's favorite for half a century until the word sambo was deemed a racial slur in some countries[1] and the illustrations considered reminiscent of “darky iconography”. Both text and illustrations have undergone considerable revision since.
