ound 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.

A terrific addition to the WeNeedDiverseBooks canon, where it joins such books as Selina Alko's
I'm Your Peanut Butter Big Brother and Taye Diggs'
Mixed Me!." --
