Jacqueline Briggs Martin and Claudia McGehee will be at Sidekick Coffee & Books on Thursday, June 17 for a reading of their new book, co-created with Liza Ketchum and Phyllis Root, BEGIN WITH A BEE.
Begin with a Bee. Looking closely at the life cycle of one bee, this book helps readers of all ages understand and appreciate the contributions and significance of all bees. The queen bee’s life unfolds through captivating illustrations, while the authors impart the poetry and basic science of the rusty-patched bumblebee, the first bee to appear on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Endangered Species list. The real queen in this colony is the striking artwork . . . Close-ups of the bees alternate with views of a lush countryside and its other denizens. It’s an inviting book on any shelf, and the story is concise enough for longer storytimes. Educators, caregivers, and young readers will all be buzzing with delight. This book is the bee’s knees.
