Honey loves to draw and color, and has a sunny personality. She loves to tell funny jokes, and is very interested in helping the environment. I guess she gets the art skills from her father (talented photographer) and from her mom Tanya Minhas, children’s Clothing Designer and owner of Honey Collection.

Honey

What is your favorite famous person Mommy, Daddy Adams and the Fairy Princess Jane from the book Tike, which I am going to write.

What makes you happy/laugh Happy When I hear that a building is being taken down, because I like thatched cottages a lot, but I don’t like ugly buildings. Laugh: Every single funny joke in the world. On a rainy day, my friend asked for a pair of long pants. The storekeeper asked how long do you want them.  My friend said till the end of December.

What makes you sad/angry Sad When my mom screams at me, and when I hear of a new building that is going to be made. Angry: When I get something wrong in gym class, or when someone punishes me the most for something I did not do – my teacher in school does that almost every day.
