Cookie and Milk might be two very different people but they are the best of friends and a good team. Cookie is a young girl of color and likes all things scientific and Milk has light skin and likes all things adventurous. Together they use their skills to learn and explore with the greatest possible success.
While I like the idea that we all have different talents and those talents can compliment each other, I don’t like the idea of narrowing an individual to a type. No one is just smart or just adventurous and it seems problematic to have readers think of themselves as such.
