Description
<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> <i><br> <br> "Sometimes bees can be a bit rude. They fly in your face and prance on your food."</i> 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. 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. He is a multi-disciplinary artist and an advertising creative director. He lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with his wife and two sons. SHABAZZLARKIN.COM.
