During an interaction on ABC's Good Morning America, Williams asserted that although her daughter feels the book is about her own family, in reality the story is a work of fiction. The tennis star also revealed that she wanted the doll to represent a black girl. "When I saw the illustration I said listen I really wanted to represent a black girl because I thought it was really important and that was the reason Qai Qai came on because I was looking for a black doll and I wanted it to be something really authentic. She (Yesenia) did a wonderful job with getting that across even with the mom and the dad and it's an amazing family in the book so," Williams stated.

"Watching Serena has been such an amazing experience growing up as a child, especially because of how proudly she wears her hair," Moises said. "When she was younger she would wear the beads, the braids, and I thought that was really cool. In the 90s and early 2000s, that wasn't really common because the image of a black person on TV was usually that of someone with straight hair or hair that looked a little tamer."
