O knihe

Grandma Honey had a kind humble nature and she loved children. When I was a child, I remember the large meals she prepared so that every child that came to her door could get a meal. It didn't matter what race the child was. If the child was hungry, he/she was stuffed like a bird when they left. She took food from her freezer and gave it to needed families; she gave warm coats to children and encouraging words. From her kindness came the words, "You are as Sweet as Honey." Thus the name Grandma Honey was born.
While she lived she believed that people could do better by each other - treat each other with dignity, respect and compassion. She believed that bigotry and hatred are taught from generation to generation in homes while sitting around the dinner table. She was certain this is where children learn unfair practices and began believing one race or culture is superior to another. She believed that every race has something to offer the world; that every man should be measured by his talent instead of the color of his skin.
Our society needs healing and racial harmony. Adults have failed and it's up to our children to make this possible. She said children are the light of the world. They represent new ideals and respect for culture differences because they have heard and lived Grandma Honey's message - that it's okay to know other people with different skin tones, different hair and different cultures. They will know why one child wears a kippah and another wears a hijab; why some people wear braids in their hair and others wear a kilt, why some people have blue eyes and others have brown or black eyes; and despite these differences they will develop lasting friendships with someone from a different race or background. They will spread the word that the human race is separated because we lack knowledge of the treasure and beauty we all hold, and if injustice and bigotry still exists in our current society, we must take steps to remove that injustice
