Bee and Me
Bee and Me
Alison Jay's beautiful wordless picture book shows what happens when a bee flies in through the window of a grey city apartment. The growing friendship between the bee and the girl brings about a transformation of the city. The nature tips at the back underline the importance of the bumble bee in our natural world and show young readers how they can help to safeguard its future. Nominated for the Kate Greenaway prize 2017, this is a picture book to explore over and over again.
