Summary

Our words have POWER!

And no one understands this more than Persephone the bee.

Astronaut and telescope

Rhinoceros; kaleidoscope

Pterodactyl; saxophone

Pomegranate; xylophone!

Hermione, The Queen Bee, thinks Persephone should spend less time with words and more time on the hunt for flowers, which are getting harder and harder to find.

But what if Persephone can use her words to help?


Join Persephone in this read-aloud, read-again rhyming story about the power of our words, as well as the important task of protecting our bees. Packed with bright illustrations and plenty of word-play, The Bee Who Loved Words is the perfect way to introduce your little one to the joy of language.
