Overview

Honey and Mahogany is a heartfelt story telling a tale of biracial children growing up and noticing that the world looks at their family weird as they play at the park and walk around town. The story begins by setting the stage of introducing a biracial couple falling in love and beginning a family. As the children grow up, they become aware of their family's differences. The children ask their parents why people look at them when they are around town. The parents sit the children down and explain to them the beauty that is added to the world due to their children's different skin tones.
