Honeycake: A Family Of Spices , introduces readers to a diverse, multi-cultural family that is full of love.
A grandmother explains why she calls her grandchildren “Honeycakes” while she teaches her granddaughter, Nala, how to bake a honey cake.
Through imagination, the grandmother details how each delicious ingredient represents a different family member and his or her unique ethnic background.
Medea Kalantar, a Reiki Master/Practitioner, a Guinness World Record Holder and a multi-award-winning best selling author of a new children’s book series titled Honeycake. Inspired to write these books when she learned she would become a grandmother, Kalantar’s stories are based on her own family, whose members come from many ethnic backgrounds. This unique mix is a perfect recipe—just like the spices in a honey cake. That is why she calls her grandchildren her little Honeycakes. With all the negativity in the world today, Kalantar’s series is a much-needed glimmer of positivity. The Honeycake series teaches valuable life lessons, giving children the tools to overcome obstacles in their everyday lives. The Honeycake books teach children about diversity, kindness, mindfulness, trust, and gratitude. This series will enlighten, empower, educate, and entertain children for generations to come. “No matter where we come from or what colour our skin is, we are all one race ... the human race. We are all one!” says Kalantar. Canadian author Medea Kalantar immigrated from Georgia U.S.S.R. when she was four years old. She is now a proud grandmother of two grandsons.
The illustrations in all my books are cartoon versions of my actual family. The only fictional character is Nala. I wrote these books when my daughter Shanaz was pregnant. She ended up having a little boy. My grandsons name is Lukenzo.
