I remember this book. PC police got this one a long time ago
Little Black Sambo is about an Indian (subcontinent) kid. Ever notice the fricking tigers?
The later illustrated copies, like the one you posted, are horrifying minstrel caricatures. Disliking them is no more PC than saying that it's not particularly cool to have blackface minstrel shows.
Also, as far as I can tell, they aren't copyrighted anymore. Feel free to scrape up some change and publish one

Little Black Sambo was literally my favorite book growing up.
I think I demanded it’s rereading to me no fewer than 1000 times.
My copy is so worn, the pages feel like fabric.
I treasure it.
NEVER did I think about the boy being black.
I thought he was clever, funny, and brilliant.
Through a child’s eyes, the story is all about winning.
We do such a disservice to children when we marginalize their intelligence.
Furthermore, adults erroneously view every situation through a “grown up” filter, rather than recognizing the fact that kids just see the big, innocent picture.
Shame on the guilty parties.
