“Grandmother’s Cherry Cake” is a children’s book that “brings love, joy, memories of purity and innocence to the readers. Something that so many of us desperately desire,” as how one of the readers put it. “I would most certainly, without a doubt support and continue to purchase more books from this author. I sure hope she is working on another. The best part is hearing my 6 year old say, “Now, I want to eat this cake!” Hahaha, love it!”, the reader added.
Janice (Taylor) Peek, the author, was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. At age twelve, her family moved to Hartford, Connecticut. She has raised four children (Shaleak, Salina, Ramses, and Farrin) and now has two grandchildren (Shalayah and Kye).
After twenty-six years working at Aetna Inc., Peek retired. In Hartford, the author was affiliated with the American Red Cross, United Way of Hartford, ONE CHANGE Community Organization, and Volunteer Reading for Urban and Suburban Schools in Hartford and Broad Brook, Connecticut.
The author also did an externship at the Hartford Cardiology Group. Peek greatly enjoys interacting with young people of all ages: babies, toddlers, elementary school students, teenagers, and young adults. She now lives in San Antonio, Texas. Peek’s hobbies include writing, playing volleyball, singing, dancing, coloring books, going to school, and playing board games.
In this masterpiece, Janice (Taylor) Peek shares one of her childhood memories that left a lasting impression on her life. Peek’s grandmother said she would make a cherry cake for the children, and the author and the other children were so excited.
Many lessons were learned throughout the author’s childhood. When you do not have everything, you need to make an item, you should just be flexible and think outside the box! You can discover new ways to make things. It will be fun!
This beautifully written book, with great illustrations, reminds the readers of the lesson of thinking outside the box. May this book be a blessing to the parents who love to read books with their children while giving them the lessons they can bring as they journey through life.
