4 posts | 4 read
A young biracial girl looks around her world for her color. She finally chooses her own, and creates a new word for herselfhoneysmoke. 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, youre 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 colorshe is honeysmoke. An Imprint Book "Fields extensive experience writing about race and identity translates with beautiful simplicity here for younger readers, and Moises paints Simone with great tenderness... A terrific addition to the WeNeedDiverseBooks canon, where it joins such books as Selina Alko's Im Your Peanut Butter Big Brother and Taye Diggs' Mixed Me!." Booklist "Honeysmoke is so beautiful and true that it made me burst into tears of gratitude for what [Monique Fields] has given to us all. Honeysmoke should be in every library and gathering place of young children." Sena Jeter Naslund, author of Ahab's Wife, Four Spirits, and Abundance

Honeysmoke by Monique Fields is a great book to teach kids about diversity and self identity. Simone is a biracial young girl who is trying to figure out her identity. She knows that she is not black like her mom, not white like her dad. She thinks long and hard about who she is and what her parents remind her of. At the end of the story she comes up with her very own unique identity and word for herself. Total must have. #UCFLAE3414F19

AleciaM UDL I would use for this story is 8.4 increase mastery-orientated feedback and 3.3 guide information processing and visualization. ESOL 15 reinforce the key ideas that you present again and again.
Teaching students about diversity and multicultural families is very important in today's school. Here is a great website to help with that.

Mehso-so

This book is about a biracial child and her efforts to find “her color”. It is interesting and progressive to some extent, but possibly confining in other ways. I don‘t know how I feel about it. Thoughts?
