Summary
:
A young biracial girl searches for the perfect color word to describe herself. A young biracial girl looks around her world for her color. She finally chooses her own, and creates a new word for herself--honeysmoke. Simone wants a color. She asks Mama, "Am I black or white?" "Boo," Mama says, just like mamas do, "a color is just a word." She asks Daddy, "Am I black or white?" "Well," Daddy says, just like daddies do, "you're a little bit of both." For multiracial children, and all children everywhere, this picture book offers a universal message that empowers young people to create their own self-identity. Simone knows her color--she is honeysmoke.
