Introducing ‘Harlem Honey’
In March 2025, television personality Tamron Hall will release her children’s book, ‘Harlem Honey: The Adventures of a Curious Child.’ Inspired by her son Moses and illustrated by Ebony Glenn, the book captures the essence of Harlem through the eyes of a young child navigating a new neighborhood.
A Heartwarming Story
‘Harlem Honey’ tells the tale of Moses, a 5-year-old who moves from Texas to the vibrant streets of Harlem. Readers may recognize him from the amusing incident where he accidentally ordered 75 yellow onions using his mother’s phone. This charming story highlights the importance of curiosity and community through Moses’s adventures as he helps a new neighbor, Laila, deliver jars of honey across Harlem.
Encouraging Curiosity in Children
Hall emphasizes the importance of curiosity and confidence in children, especially in unfamiliar environments. She recalls how her own son experienced challenges when confronted with new places and people. ‘Harlem Honey’ reflects these valuable experiences and aspires to inspire young readers to embrace the wonders of exploration. With historic landmarks like the Apollo Theater and Sylvia’s restaurant as backdrops, ‘Harlem Honey’ serves not only as an engaging story but also as an invitation for children to appreciate the richness of their surroundings.
