The Story of Little Black Sambo is a children's book written by Helen Bannerman in 1899. It tells the tale of a young boy named Sambo who outsmarts a group of tigers that threaten him in the jungle. By tricking the tigers into chasing each other, Sambo ultimately recovers his clothing and enjoys a feast of tiger-transformed ghee (clarified butter). While the story itself highlights Sambo's cleverness and bravery, it has been criticized for its use of racial stereotypes and outdated language, which have made it controversial. Modern adaptations have sought to reimagine the story in ways that remove these problematic elements while preserving its core narrative of resourcefulness and courage.
