A new Book in France

Published by:

Last, a book for children featuring a young Romni – Luludja (sic. Normally, in Romanes, the first name would be Luludji [flower] not in plural) – but also strengthening the stereotypes. Clearly she comes from Romania (all Roma are from there for the French) in search for a better  live, lands in camps etc.

Sometimes, these books are counterproductive.
