The Bee and Me

In a little yellow house deep in the delta South, the Bee lives. She is excited to spend time with her grandchild! When she arrives, the Bee quickly realizes there is a gap between them. In the little yellow house, all of the Bee’s things have grown old, and yet, to the Bee they are still useful and important. However, through the eyes of her grandchild, everything she possesses is just old. Will the Bee be able to show her beloved grandchild the importance of valuing old things, including the Bee, when she asks the question, "So you truly believe if something is old, I should throw it away out into the cold?"

The Bee and Me is a compelling rhyme book designed to bring generations together, closing the gap between young and old by recognizing the beauty and value in them both.
