Honeycake: Special Magical Powers

Children’s

In the third instalment in the charming Honeycake Book Series, Nala brings her outgrown toys and clothes to Rainbow Hall, and spends the day with her Grandma and Uncle JD discovering a special magical power we all have, called KINDNESS

"Kindness is a "Special Magical Power" we all have inside of us. When we show kindness, it's like spreading sunshine everywhere we go -- no matter what the weather is like outside.

Could you imagine how much nicer the world would be if everyone smiled at each other or did a random act of kindness every day? We are kind when we use our manners by saying please and thank you, or by opening a door, or by giving our seat on a bus or train to a stranger in need.

Kindness is a gift we can all afford to give. Though it doesn't cost a thing, your kindness can mean everything to another person."

Use your "Special Magical Powers" and spread kindness everywhere you go!
