I think this would be an important discussion point for children because it shows that although Jemmy Button has changed and learned a lot because of his time in a different culture he has gone back to his traditions and culture from his home country.

The picture book text says O'run-del'lico was "invited" to visit England, which may or may not have been the case. Buku ini mengambarkan seorang anak yang dibawa jauh dari tanah kelahirannya [yang dianggap sangat primintif oleh org2 yg ngebawanya] untuk di didik jadi berbudaya [tuh kan poskolonial banget ya. I think the way the Europeans were depicted as dark shadowy figures, shows how scary they may have been to these people.
