The Thing About Bees: A Love Letter

<b>A LOVE POEM FROM A FATHER TO HIS TWO SONS, AND A TRIBUTE TO THE BEES THAT POLLINATE THE FOODS WE LOVE TO EAT.</b><br /><br /><i>"Sometimes bees can be a bit rude.<br />They fly in your face and prance on your food."</i><br /><br />And yet… without bees, we might not have strawberries for shortcakes or avocados for tacos! <br /><br />Shabazz Larkin’s <i>The Thing About Bees</i> is a Norman Rockwell-inspired Sunday in the park, a love poem from a father to his two sons, and a tribute to the bees that pollinate the foods we love to eat. <br /><br />Children are introduced to different kinds of bees, “how not to get stung,” and how the things we fear are often things we don’t fully understand.<br /><br />Shabazz Larkin made his picture book illustration debut with <i>Farmer Will Allen and the Growing Table</i>, followed by his author/illustrator debut with <i>A Moose Boosh: A Few Choice Words About Food</i>, both named American Library Association Notable Children’s Books and published by READERS to EATERS. He is a multi-disciplinary artist and an advertising creative director. He lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with his wife and two sons. SHABAZZLARKIN.COM
