Bees are usually something scary to most children. They have a bad reputation to sting people, after all. This cute story will teach you and your little one that there is more to a bee than meets the eye! They are not actually after your meal or even you when you are having a picnic. They are simply doing what bees do!

Ottawa Mommy Club

What a delightful little book series! I was, of course, intrigued by the photography -- the felted characters with so much detail, right down to their little knitted sweaters. The Gumboot Kids website talks about wanting to create content that explores nature, while finding ways to mindfully slow down. The book really reflects this esthetic.
