Talk show host and Emmy award-winning journalist Tamron Hall is ensuring that children of all ages fall in love with the iconic neighborhood of Harlem in her new children’s book. Inspired by her five-year-old son, Moses, “Harlem Honey: The Adventures of a Curious Child,” readers will get the opportunity to learn about some of the neighborhood’s most iconic landmarks, while also learning very valuable lessons about friendship and much more.
The 54-year-old and her son posted a video and image of the book’s cover on social media. The Tamron Hall host captioned her Instagram post, “Bedtime just got sweeter! Moses has a book, and I am along for the ride. Join “Harlem Honey” as he explores new places and new faces in a series of adventures I hope you will love. It starts in Harlem, but the sky is the limit.”
Available for preorders now, per a synopsis on Amazon.com, “Harlem Honey: The Adventures of a Curious Child” is unquestionably a must-read, encouraging readers to explore more and embrace meeting new people.
“For Moses, Harlem couldn’t be any more different than the Texas he moved away from, and his only friends are his dog, Lotus-May, and his bird, JoJo,” the synopsis of the book reads. “But when Moses is asked to help his new neighbor Laila deliver jars of honey to the people of Harlem, he finally gets the chance to make new friends and see the places and feel the magic of this bustling neighborhood.”
“There are historic landmarks like the famous Apollo Theater, which has hosted iconic performers, Sylvia’s Restaurant, the best spot in the city for cornbread the celebrated African American art of the Studio Museum, and the electric sounds of the neighborhood itself.”
In an exclusive interview with People Magazine, Hall talks discusses Moses’ experiences when exploring new places.
“New people and new places can be exciting. For children these new experiences can be overwhelming and sometimes scary,” she told the outlet. “While traveling with Moses or just out in our neighborhood early on, I noticed how the child I saw at home was not always the same kid out in the world. ‘Mom I want to go home’ was said a lot.”
“Harlem Honey is a reflection of those moments and how we can use them to inspire curiosity! Harlem was Moses’ first home but the Harlem Honey will travel far from New York in this new kids travel series I hope families will enjoy. Moses loves his home and my hope is that he will enjoy what beautiful new adventures and people await. I know other parents can relate!”
As me mentioned, “Harlem Honey: The Adventures of a Curious Child” is now available for preorder. The book will officially drop for purchase in March of 2025. Hall shares her son Moses with husband, Steven Greener.
