“GOLDEN ERA- SISTERS”
“HALLIE and SHIRLEY”
The Golden Era Collection Series with Hallie and Shirley
Welcome to The Golden Era Collection Series, a delightful journey into the heart of family, friendship, and chocolate-sweet adventures on charming Maple Street. At the heart of these beautifully crafted stories are two spirited sisters, Hallie and Shirley, whose laughter, curiosity, and boundless love for life create magic in every corner of their world.
Set in a nostalgic era filled with the warmth of neighborly bonds and childhood wonder, this series invites readers of all ages into a world where simple joys become unforgettable treasures. Inspired by the sisters’ love for their favorite chocolate treats from the beloved See’s Candies, each story is a celebration of sweetness — both in flavor and in spirit.
These stories are more than just tales of two girls; they are a timeless invitation for grandparents, parents, and children to journey together through memories old and new. Grandparents will smile as they recall their own golden days; parents will delight in passing down cherished traditions; and children will experience the timeless joy of love, friendship, and of course, chocolate — all wrapped in the enchanting charm of Hallie and Shirley’s world.
With Shirley and Hallie as playful travel guides, the series lovingly stitches together moments of kindness, fun, and discovery under the shimmering title The Golden Era – Hallie and Shirley, created by Shirley Caesar and Carolyn Sanders, with author Melanie Greene in partnership with 5-0 Studios London (Sharon and Lee).
Every page in this collection is designed to be as special — and as sweet — as the iconic black-and-white box of See’s Candies. As readers turn each page, they’ll step into stories that sparkle with humor, love, and life lessons that are as timeless as the taste of See’s chocolates.
With every story, Hallie and Shirley remind us that love, laughter, and a little bit of chocolate can make the world shine just a little brighter.
So gather your family, open your hearts (and maybe a box of See’s Candies), and step into the Golden Era — where every chapter is a celebration of life’s sweetest moments.
A Tribute to the Sweetness That Inspired It All – See’s Candies®
We are overjoyed to share that the timeless charm of See’s Candies® has inspired the creation of our brand-new children’s book series:
“Sisters: The Golden Era” – A Tribute to See’s Candies®.
This heartfelt 12-book (and growing!) collection is a celebration of sisterhood, childhood joy, and the unforgettable magic that happens when stories are shared over chocolates — the kind wrapped in nostalgia, love, and those iconic black-and-white boxes.
In one of our first stories, “See’s for Sis,” we open with an enchanting scene: neighborhood children huddled outside the See’s Candies® shop, eyes wide, hands full of their favorite treats. Parents, grandparents, and friends join in, turning a simple visit into a sweet memory — the kind many of us still cherish from our own childhoods.
To honor this joyful spirit, we’ve created a powerful connection between the stories of Hallie and Shirley and the real-life celebration of National Sisters Day — held every year on the first Sunday in August. This day of love and connection is highlighted in another one of our most special titles, “Sister’s Day,” where bonds are strengthened and chocolate is shared beneath summer skies.
Our celebration of National Sisters Day offers a unique and cherished moment as we unite the joy of our favourite …. See’s Candies® with the universal celebration of sisterhood —WE are inviting families everywhere to slow down, indulge, and enjoy the simple sweetness of being together.
The Golden Era Series follows two spirited little sisters, Hallie and Shirley, as they explore a world filled with laughter, kindness, and candy-coated memories. Set in a nostalgic era of warmth and wonder, the stories remind us that no moment is too small to be special — especially when there’s See’s Candies® involved.
Whether you’re sharing your favorite piece with your sister, gifting a box to a friend who feels like family, or reading one of our stories together after dinner, our hope is simple:
Relive the memories.
Make new ones.
And always, always share the See’s.
