Honcho

by Cathy Varnell, Blueberry Illustrations (Illustrator)

Have you ever been at a place where you felt like you didn’t belong because of the way others treated you? Not everything is the same in this world, and unfortunately sometimes others are judged for their differences. This is a story of a tiny town filled with narrow minded people who survive off of enormous, juicy blueberries that grow on top of a massive hill next to the small town. The blueberries became so essential to the town, they made all the buildings and clothing blue. They also named the tiny town Bluesville. The townspeople believe everything has to be blue in order to be accepted in their community. However, in this story, a tall, strong, green truck named Honcho proves this isn’t true. Come and read this delightful story on how Honcho the green truck demonstrates its influential qualities to save a biased town from a catastrophe, after many years of being taunted by the people. See how something heroic opens the minds of others who does not believe the world can operate with diversity. This is a sweet story that teaches children everything and everyone has a purpose in this world no matter what they appear to be.

Very interesting story.

I'm glad to found this book for gift for my son. The Honcho sounds like an interesting character, and
I'm sure kids will love the colorful illustrations that go along with the story. It's important for children
to learn about the environment and the role of any things which is not too much beautiful play in it,
so this book seems like a great choice. Thank you for sharing your positive book like this!

I'm glad to hear that your daughter enjoyed the story of Honcho! It sounds like she was able to connect
with the character and learn some valuable lessons. It's always great to see children embrace the
messages in stories and apply them to their own lives. As for getting a similar vehicle as Honcho, that's
something you can certainly consider if it's feasible for your family. Regardless of what car your daughter
has, it's heartwarming to see that she values her old toy car as well.

It’s a very heart-warming book about diversity. We are blessed to be in a
world with diversity of everything, flora, fauna and we humans too are a
part of it. Everything is unique and equally lovable as creation of god.

My children loved not just Honcho, but also loved the idea of a blue town. I wish we could have one town
like that in real. Please make another book on red raspberries with the red town. I would love to keep a
collection of this book series.

A very sweet and heartwarming book about Honcho, who has a not beautiful but powerful truck. That way he saves the townspeople when they have not blueberries to eat they all clap and cheer for Honcho.

I recently read a book that I think is perfect for kids who want to learn about maintaining
equality in our society. The book features a lovable character named Honcho, an old blue truck
that kids can't get enough of. I have to say, I absolutely loved this book!

Amazing book. Through the story, kids can learn how to deal with situations using a totally different approach, and they also learn to never underestimate someone.
