Kind Little Hands

About this book

A little boy is going about his day in the city when a bee drops from the sky into his outstretched hands. Spellbound by the perfect little creature, the boy also sees immediately that the bee is exhausted. 

Taking the bee to his grandfather for help, Grandpa suggests that they put the bee in his window box. When that doesn’t work, Grandpa suggests they give the bee some sugar water. Slowly, the bee recovers and flies off. However, saving the bee has given the little boy a wonderful idea: if he and his Grandpa plant flower seeds across the city, then that will provide more places for the bees to find food and safety. 

Life has become tricky for bees in cities, where there isn’t enough green space for them to thrive. It’s also hard for them in rural areas because of pesticides and other modern farming techniques which affect their health. This lovely book, profits from which will go to support a charity that supports bees, gives children a practical and achievable way to support bees, whatever their local environment.
