Description
Book SynopsisA perfect blend of story, facts, and humor, wrapped up in a message that encourages children to be socially active in their communities and to fight for their beliefs!
Trade ReviewAn empowering story, this book shows readers that one person—no matter the age—can make a big difference. The lovely illustrations are a pleasure to behold, and the bees manage to be realistic and yet not intimidating. While this is a work of fiction, the author and illustrator use true facts about bees and what is happening to them, including a guide for readers to take steps to preserve the bees remaining in the world. A beautiful final touch includes drawings of each wildflower seen in the book accompanied by its appropriate name.VERDICT This informational picture book is a necessary addition to elementary library shelves as an important contribution to the understanding and conservation of bees -- School Library Journal

This picture book not only shines light on the importance of looking after bumblebees but also has a diverse main character.
