Mildred Pitts Walter's journey from a small-town upbringing in Louisiana to becoming a groundbreaking author in children's literature highlights her dedication to representing African American experiences. After graduating college in 1940, she moved to California and began teaching elementary school. Encouraged to write for African American children, she created stories that challenged stereotypes, notably in "Justin and the Best Biscuits in the World," which featured themes of black cowboys and gender roles. Walter also contributed as a book reviewer for the Los Angeles Times.
