The Honeyed Tale: A Book Born of Bees & Candlelight

From the quiet hum of the hive to the golden glow of hand-dipped candles, a beloved Kimberton story is taking flight in a new and beautiful form…

Early Childhood teacher and KWS parent Molly Brett (’00), whose gentle storytelling has long guided our youngest children through the rhythms of the seasons, has lovingly brought her tale of the bees to the page. Paired with the luminous artwork of Cynthia Oswald, KWS parent, Senior Portrait teacher and gifted artist, this story is being transformed into a one-of-a-kind children’s book—rooted in warmth, wonder, and Waldorf tradition.

Offered here is a rare opportunity to become part of that story.

At this special level, you will receive a custom, limited-edition copy of this yet-to-be-released book, created exclusively by our community, for our community. Each volume will include your child’s name in the story and will be a keepsake to treasure, echoing the magic of beeswax, candlelight, and the quiet reverence of childhood.

Only 5 of these books are available!

As part of this offering, you and your child will be invited to a private, intimate puppet story, where Molly herself will share this tale aloud. In that gentle circle, you will receive your copy of the book, making the experience all the more personal and memorable.

More than a book, this is a piece of Kimberton’s living story… one that will be held in small hands, read aloud in cozy corners, and remembered for years to come.

Let this golden tale find its way home with you.
