Henry Bonner (ca 1620-1689) left Britain and came to the American colonies sometime before March 1644. He settled on what was then Mattacomack Creek in Chowan County, North Carolina. For the next hundred years the Bonner family lived in that part of Chowan County. Thomas Bonner (ca 1744-1804) left North Carolina and moved with his family first to South Carolina and later to Georgia. In South Carolina he fought with Colonel Benjamin Roebuck's Carolina Regiment during the American War for Independence.

A rhyming, read-aloud book with warm illustrations conveys a comforting, faith-filled message from a Black father and mother to their children who see visual representations of their faith, but question what it means when they don't see their skin color, their physical features, or their gender portrayed. "What about the angels, will they stop and stare, when they see that I may not have their same color hair?" asks the girl. In soothing verse, the father assures his children that everyone looks like Jesus and the angels by the things they do. As the family walks through their neighborhood, the father points out the beauty in God's creations, from flowers, all unique and different, to all the children in their community "each with skin a different shade." He reminds his children that pictures of faith such as angels were drawn by someone and encourages his children to draw their own pictures so angels look like all of us.

These historical stories are based on early explorations in the Americas, the Jamestown Colony of Virginia, Indians of the Americas, Colonial and U.S. history, and the U.S. Civil War. The Genealogy section is the author's research into his Champion and Bonner ancestors. The use of DNA is developed into this research, with great future usefulness as an important tool for the modern historian.
